Scholarships & Tuition Assistance

STATE FUNDED SCHOLARSHIPS

The Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (FTC)

To ensure students will receive the full award of a state scholarship, students should be completely enrolled by July 1st of the new school year. Be advised that state scholarships will not cover the entire cost of tuition or additional fees. Parents/guardians will be responsible for any remaining balance due, or fees incurred. Parents/guardians will also be responsible for completing all necessary steps through SUFS EMA platform to include enrolling their child in the school and approving payments to be sent to the school from SUFS throughout the year.
