Does Rossville Christian Academy take the Education Freedom Scholarship?
Yes. Rossville Christian Academy signed up for EFS for 2026-27, which means a scholarship holder can apply the $7,530 to tuition and required fees here and keep any remainder for approved costs.
The parent approves each school charge in the EFS portal, and TDOE funds the account in four installments across the year.
Can an MSCS-zone ESA student use the account at Rossville Christian Academy?
Not right now. Rossville Christian Academy is not on the West Tennessee ESA list updated September 24, 2026, so ESA money cannot be spent here unless TDOE approves the school later.
ESA approval is separate from EFS registration, so it is worth asking whether the school has applied.

The state lists leave these questions open:
