The FES-UA Scholarship allows parents of students with unique abilities to personalize education of their children by utilizing the awarded scholarship toward an Annunciation Catholic School education. The average scholarship award is $10,000. 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.
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 Educational Options (FES-UO) and the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program
The FES-UO 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. Eligibility is determined by household income. For example, a family of four in the 2021-22 school year could make almost $100,000 annually and qualify. For applications for the 2022-23 school year, we are anticipating a family of four could make almost $112,000 annually and qualify. These numbers are not usually finalized until later in the year. Dependent children of a reservist or an active-duty military member of the United States Armed Forces automatically qualify for this scholarship based on his or her parent’s service to our country, regardless of income. On average, this scholarship is $7,000.
