Step Up for Students
We accept Step Up For Students Scholarships (Florida Tax Scholarships)and Family Empowerment Scholarships.
The new legislation expands the eligibility of the Florida Tax Credit (FTC) and Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (FES-EO) programs to allow K-12 students who are Florida residents to gain access to a scholarship, regardless of household income. Additionally, these programs will be converted into education savings accounts, or “ESAs” to allow for more flexibility in how funds are used by families.A parentally placed private school student with a disability does not have an individual right to receive some or all of the special education and related services that the student would receive if enrolled in a public school under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as amended.

The FES-EO and Florida Tax Credit Scholarships, give parents the ability to choose a school that best meets their children’s needs by providing a scholarship to attend Annunciation Catholic School. K-12 students regardless of household income, who are residents of Florida and eligible to enroll in a K-12 public school, can receive a scholarship worth an average of $7,700 to attend a private school that best meets their academic needs. These numbers are not usually finalized until later in the year.
Additionally, all children in a family who have a sibling on the FES-UA Scholarship, regardless of income, will qualify for a “Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options” (FES-EO).
Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA)
The FES-UA Scholarship allows parents of students with unique abilities to personalize the education of their children by utilizing the awarded scholarship toward an Annunciation Catholic School education. The average scholarship award is $9500. The scholarship may be awarded to students who have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or another qualifying documented disability from a licensed physician. Annunciation Catholic School can provide accommodations to most students who have been diagnosed with anaphylaxis or other health impairments such as Speech, ADD, Asthma, and Type 1 Diabetes. We have limited exceptional education service resources and are not able to provide accommodations for students who receive educational services outside of the general education classroom.
