Funding fit for The Momentum Academy
The Momentum Academy appears in the Texas Comptroller's TEFA participating-school finder (checked October 9, 2026). A Houston-area student who holds a Texas Education Freedom Account can use it here. For 2026-27 that is $10,474 per student, deposited 25% on July 1, 25% on October 1 and 50% on February 1, and paid to the school through the Odyssey platform. To participate, a school must be accredited by a TEPSAC-recognized organization or TEA, have operated at least two school years, and give an annual norm-referenced test in grades 3-12.
The school reports special education services or a learning-differences focus. A TEFA student with an IEP on file can receive more than the standard award. For a Clear Creek ISD resident, that is roughly $15,961 to $17,095 for regular-campus IEP settings, capped at $30,000.
Christian and church-affiliated schools often offer member rates, sponsorships and sibling discounts, and the state's guidelines require those discounts to continue for TEFA families. Church-run schools may also qualify for the Edu Fund partner scholarship, which has no income cap.
