The following scholarships are available to qualified students who are residents of Florida.

The Florida State Legislature created the income-based Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program to assure that low-income children have more learning options. 

For the 2018-19 school year, Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program Students who qualify may receive up to $6,519 for 5th grade, $6,815 for 6th-8th grade and $7,111 for 9th-12th grade for private school tuition and fees.

In May 2019, the Family Empowerment Scholarship was created by the Florida State Legislature to further help low-income children.

Scholarship award amounts for the 2019-20 school year are still being determined, but can be used toward designated school expenses until the maximum is reached. 

Both Florida State scholarships are based on financial need. The Florida Tax Credit Scholarship allows families to choose between financial assistance toward private school tuition and fees, or with transportation costs to attend a public school in another district. The Family Empowerment Scholarship may only be used towards private school tuition and fees.

Families interested in the Florida Tax Credit or Family Empowerment Scholarship may apply using the Florida Prep School Code 880 on the website www.stepupforstudents.org   Step up For Students is a nonprofit organization that helps administer the Florida State scholarship programs.
