What Florida pays, and what that leaves you

FL
Florida Family Empowerment and Tax Credit Scholarships Education savings account
About $8,000 on average, set by county and grade For 2026-27 the table runs from $7,463 (grades 9-12, lowest county) to $12,217 (grades K-3, Monroe County). Students with disabilities average about $10,000 under FES-UA.

Figures read from each program’s official pages, 2026-09-20. Sources and how to apply

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.

Get one email when applications open

Most programs open once a year, and several ran out of money or seats in 2026. Pick your state (you are looking at Miami Gardens) and we will email you the day the next window opens, with the official link. That is the only email you get.

One email per application window. No calls, no sharing your details.

Questions parents ask

How many private schools are there near Miami Gardens?

We count 273 within 12 miles of downtown Miami Gardens. Together they enrolled about 44,050 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Lincoln-Marti Community Agency, Inc. with 1,919 students.

Which Miami Gardens 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.
