This scholarship is sponsored by Florida’s School Choice Programs and affords the opportunity for special needs students to attend participating private schools. The student must have a 504 Accommodation Plan or an Individual Education Plan (IEP) along with other eligibility requirements that can be found on the Florida School Choice website at www.floridaschoolchoice.org .

FLORIDA TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIP AND FAMILY EMPOWERMENT SCHOLARSHIP (SCHOOL-AGE STUDENTS)

House Bill 1 has been signed into law by Governor DeSantis, that amplifies scholarship opportunities for parents interested in private education and took effect on July 1, 2023. PBCA accepts both the Family Empowerment Scholarships (FES-EO) and the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (FTC).  The new law eliminates the income restrictions on the Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (FES-EO) and Florida Tax Credit (FTC) scholarships, making all children of Florida residents who are eligible to attend public school in grades K-12 eligible for a scholarship.
