Orange County: Private School Scholarships for Families

Orange County families can make private education more affordable through various scholarship and voucher programs. The Crenshaw Academy highlights these opportunities, noting private schooling can be less expensive than many realize.

Florida offers several school choice programs administered by Step Up for Students that can reduce or cover tuition at institutions like The Crenshaw Academy. These include the income-based Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (FTC), funded by corporate tax credits, and the Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES) – Educational Options for students in kindergarten through 12th grade who meet income requirements.

For students with specific learning needs, the Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES) – Unique Abilities supports those with an active Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Section 504 plan. This scholarship can fund tuition, therapy, and other necessary services. The Hope Scholarship, funded through sales tax contributions, is available to public school students who have experienced bullying or safety concerns.

The Crenshaw Academy also accepts the Step Up for Students Personalized Education Program (PEP) Scholarship. The academy's admissions team assists families with eligibility, applications, and timelines for these state scholarship programs. National resources such as Going Merry, College Board, Unigo, and Cappex provide additional scholarship search and college planning tools.
