School vouchers provide public funding that families can use to pay tuition at participating private schools. Unlike ESAs, voucher funds typically go directly to the school rather than to a parent-controlled account. Several states operate voucher programs with varying eligibility rules and award amounts.

ESAs offer more flexibility — funds go to a parent-controlled account and can be spent on tuition, tutoring, therapy, curriculum, and more. Vouchers typically cover tuition only. Many states are expanding to ESA-style programs.
