History By Mail is an approved vendor in nine education savings account (ESA) and scholarship programs.
If your family gets education funds through one of the programs below, you can use them for a History By Mail subscription. Each month you'll get a museum-quality replica of a real historical letter or document, mailed to your door.
What Is an Education Savings Account?
An ESA is a state program that gives eligible families money for approved educational expenses such as curriculum, tutoring, enrichment, and learning subscriptions. Some states call it a scholarship, education freedom account, or tax-credit scholarship. Primary sources are one of the best ways to teach history — students read what people actually wrote. That's what we deliver.
