How families pay here
Zion Walburg Lutheran School Georgetown was listed in the Texas Comptroller's TEFA finder when we checked on October 12, 2026, so a student with an Education Freedom Account can use it here. For 2026-27 the account sends $10,474 per student, deposited in three parts: 25% on July 1, 25% on October 1 and the final 50% on February 1.
This school reports special-education services or a learning-differences focus. When a TEFA student has a current IEP that TEA has on file, the account grows: for a Georgetown ISD resident, roughly $15,981 to $17,119 across regular-campus IEP settings, never more than $30,000.
This school also enrolls pre-K children. TEFA funds 3- and 4-year-olds who meet a state free pre-K criterion, such as qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, limited English, or a parent who teaches in a Texas public school. Kindergarten has no such test, so a child can continue here on the full award.
Church-related schools frequently price by congregation membership and number of children, and the state requires those rates to keep applying when a family pays with TEFA. A church-run school may also be eligible for the Edu Fund partner scholarship, which has no income limit. The registered name suggests a school run by a congregation, which is the kind of school our partner fund is built around.

What to ask on your tour
- Is the school in the TEFA finder now, and will it take part in 2027-28?
- Does billing follow the state's July, October and February deposits, or is a deposit due from us first?
- Which fees, such as books, uniforms or lunch, can be charged to the account?
- What aid, sibling or church-member pricing is available for any balance?
- Which IEP settings and needs do you have room for, and do you bill on-campus therapy as a school fee?
- Are you an approved TEFA pre-K provider, and do you take child care assistance for after-care?
