Scholarships
We are pre-approved providers for the following scholarships:
Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES): The Family Empowerment Scholarship Program is designed to offer families of students with disabilities, as young as 3 years of age, access to additional education options. Families may choose to enroll their student in another public school, or they may take the opportunity to receive a personal education savings account (ESA) for their student. With an ESA, parents receive a deposit of public funds into government-authorized savings accounts with restricted, but multiple, uses. An ESA can be used to fund not only items such as private school tuition and fees, but also online learning programs, private tutoring, community college costs, higher education expenses and other approved customized learning services and materials.
New Worlds Reading Scholarship (NWRS): Reading Scholarship Accounts are available for students in grades 3 through 5, who are enrolled in a Florida public school and scored below a Level 3 on the statewide, standardized English Language Arts assessment in the prior school year.
