The tuition credit is awarded after school begins and the referred student has been enrolled for 45 days. Please contact the school office for participation details.
STATE:
All families, regardless of income, are eligible for Florida’s Family Tax Credit (FTC) scholarship or a Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Opportunities (FES-EO) through Step-Up for Students. You can find helpful information on the application process here, a helpful video here, and a list outlining the application (and renewal application) requirements here. Families are not required to provide income verification unless applying for “Income Priority.”
The AAA Scholarship Foundation is a state funded scholarship for families with economic need. This scholarship has different qualifications and awards different amounts than the Step Up for Students Scholarship. Please visit their website to see if you may qualify and to apply.
PARISH:
Through the generosity of our donors and parish community, St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School may offer additional tuition assistance to qualifying families.
Families requesting assistance must complete a FACTS Grant & Aid application before assistance can be considered. Please notify our Admissions Office if you plan to apply.
FACTS Grant & Aid is separate from your FACTS tuition payment account. Families using Grant & Aid for the first time must create an account, even if their children already attend Seton.
Though our tuition rates are among the lowest of faith-based or private schools in the area, tuition covers only a portion of the per student cost of Catholic education. The difference is supported through school fundraising efforts. Seton families are needed to support the school community through volunteering and participation in school events.
