What Is the South Carolina Education Scholarship Trust Fund?
South Carolina's Education Scholarship Trust Fund (ESTF) gives eligible families access to public education funding that can be used for a wide range of approved learning expenses. Instead of routing money through a single school, the state deposits funds into a parent-controlled scholarship account, letting you choose how to educate your child.
ESTF dollars can be used for curriculum, online learning platforms, homeschool materials, tutoring, and other approved educational expenses. For families who homeschool, supplement public school, or attend a participating private school, this opens up real options for finding resources that fit your child.
This guide walks you through exactly how the South Carolina ESTF works, what it can be spent on, and how to find curriculum that qualifies — so you can make confident, informed decisions for your child's learning.

Step by Step
How to Use South Carolina ESTF Funds
Follow these five steps to put your Education Scholarship Trust Fund dollars to work on your child's education.
1
Log into your ESTF parent portal
Access the South Carolina Education Scholarship Trust Fund portal through ClassWallet, where you can view your scholarship balance, track expenses, and manage your education funds.
2
Check approved expense categories
Review the list of approved expense categories to confirm that the type of product or service you want to purchase is covered under the South Carolina ESTF program.
3
Choose an eligible provider or curriculum
Search for an approved education service provider or curriculum that meets your child’s learning needs. Look for structured, standards-aligned materials designed for your child’s age group.
4
Make your purchase or submit for reimbursement
Complete your purchase using the approved payment method. Depending on the vendor, you may pay directly through the ESTF portal or submit a reimbursement claim for review.
5
Keep receipts and records for compliance
Save all receipts and documentation from your purchase. South Carolina requires ESTF families to maintain records that verify scholarship funds were spent on approved educational expenses.
Important Reminder
Always check the latest South Carolina ESTF guidelines from the State Treasurer's Office to ensure your purchase qualifies. Rules and approved categories can change, so it's worth reviewing before each purchase.
