PDSES grant accepted as payment

Parent-Directed Special Education Services (PDSES)Now Accepted for Tuition & Supplemental Learning Services

We are excited to share that we now accept Parent-Directed Special Education Services (PDSES) grant funds for tuition and supplemental educational services. PDSES grants are a powerful opportunity to access additional educational support at no out-of-pocket cost. With personalized instruction and targeted academic intervention, Sylvan Learning is here to help your child gain skills, confidence, and long-term success.

The PDSES program, administered by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), provides a one-time $1,500 online grant for parents or legal guardians of eligible students who:

  • Are enrolled in a Texas public school
  • Receive special education services through an IEP
  • Have not previously received a PDSES grant

These funds are designed to give families greater flexibility in accessing high-quality educational materials and services that directly support their child’s academic growth. PDSES funds are supplemental and do not replace services provided through your child’s school IEP.
