Tuition Assistance
Paying for tuition can be hard for some, but we have found a variety of ways for students and parents to find relief in their tuition costs through qualifying programs. Look below to discover a few programs that can assist with tuition.
Kids of Overseas & Wounded National Guard
(Continuous contingent on qualifying factors)
“We empower military kids by funding sports, arts and other enrichment activities when their parents are deployed overseas with the National Guard or Reserves, or recovering from severe injuries sustained in a post-9/11 overseas mission.
Family Empowerment Scholarship
(A set amount allotted to recipients)
“The Family Empowerment Scholarship program helps parents individualize the educational plans for their children with certain special needs. The name honors Florida Senate President Andy Gardiner, who led the legislative effort to create the program, and his family. Gardiner and his wife Camille have championed the cause of children with unique abilities for many years. The Gardiners have two daughters and a son, Andrew, who has Down syndrome.”

“Youth involved or at risk of becoming involved in the criminal justice system, who also have a mental health or substance use disorder, can benefit from getting treatment and other support strategies. This can help them build on their protective factors and reduce their risk factors for delinquent behaviors.
