Funding fit for Katy Islamic Academy/Ihouston Quran Academy
As of October 9, 2026, Katy Islamic Academy/Ihouston Quran Academy does not appear in the Texas TEFA participating-school finder. Schools can apply at any time if they meet the accreditation and two-year operating requirements. If you are considering this school, ask whether it has applied. You can also look at school-based aid, the federal scholarship tax credit that starts in January 2027, and the participating schools nearby listed below.
The school also serves pre-K. TEFA pays the full award for eligible 3- and 4-year-olds whose families meet the free public pre-K criteria (income, English learner, military, foster care and similar). Kindergarten eligibility is broader, so a child can stay at the same school.
Faith-based schools of every tradition can participate in TEFA on the same terms. Ask about community tuition assistance.
