High Cost Funds
High Cost Funds
The 2024-2025 High Cost Funds (HCF) application opens on March 3, 2025 and closes on May 5, 2025.
High Cost Funds (HCF) help offset the financial impact on Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) that provide educational services to high need children with disabilities. High need children with disabilities receive educational services which exceed three times the state鈥檚 average per pupil expenditure (APPE). 听Only those costs associated with providing direct special education and related services to the child, and identified in the child鈥檚 Individualized Education Program (IEP), are considered when determining whether a child qualifies as a high need child.
To request HCF, an LEA must submit a High Cost Fund application through the APEX application during the HCF application window for that year.
Additional information concerning High Cost Funds can be found in the Texas High Cost Fund (HCF) State Plan.
