Questions about listing in North Carolina
How many North Carolina families use school choice funding?
Over 100,000 students receive Opportunity Scholarships, making it one of the largest voucher programs in the country. ESA+ serves a smaller but growing number of special-needs families with higher per-student funding ($9,000–$17,000).
What types of providers can accept NC school choice funds?
Private schools registered as Direct Payment Schools can accept Opportunity Scholarships. Tutors, therapists, and curriculum providers can register as ESA+ service providers through SEAA. Different registration paths apply to each.
How do I get found by NC families?
Claim your free listing on SchoolZone to appear in our North Carolina provider directory. We're based in Charlotte and built SchoolZone to help NC families navigate these programs.
What credential do tutors need in North Carolina?
NC requires tutors to hold either a valid NC teaching certificate OR a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. This is stricter than most states and is the most common reason tutor applications are delayed.
When is the best time to register as a provider?
Now. The 2026-27 priority application window just closed (March 2, 2026) and award notifications are being sent. Families will begin choosing providers for fall 2026. Providers registered before August get maximum visibility during enrollment.
The math works
One converted North Carolina ESA+ lead at $9,000/year pays back 6x your annual Premium subscription ($1,490/year).
