eLearning Academy provides four scholarship opportunities to assist parents with tuition. eLearning Academy cannot guarantee eligibility for or issuance of a scholarship, as they are awarded by outside entities (Louisiana Scholarship Program (SEE), ACE, Arete, eLearning Foundation).

Attention! We are excited to announce that the Louisiana Scholarship Program is opening a Phase II for the 2024-2025 school year. The applications open today, July 31st, and will be awarded on a first-come first-serve basis!
