What would you pay?

FES / FTC pays between $7,463 and $12,217 depending on your household. We start with the lower figure. Change it if you know yours. An award can never be more than the school actually charges. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Questions parents ask

How many private schools are there near Fort Lauderdale?

We count 131 within 12 miles of downtown Fort Lauderdale. Together they enrolled about 32,018 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Career Online High School with 6,353 students.

Which Fort Lauderdale private schools take FES / FTC?

Florida publishes a private school directory with scholarship filters and an Excel download. We have not loaded it yet, so we do not mark Florida schools. Use the state directory to confirm.

Will FES / FTC cover the whole tuition bill?

Sometimes, but do not count on it. FES / FTC pays about $8,000 on average, set by county and grade, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
