How much is a Florida school voucher for a Broward student in 2026-27?
A Broward child gets $8,494 in grades K-3, $7,896 in grades 4-8 and $7,701 in grades 9-12 from the Florida Private School Scholarship (FTC/FES-EO), the program people usually mean by the Florida voucher. There is no income test.
251 of the 357 private schools registered in Broward in the state directory take it.
What if a Broward child has a diagnosis?
Where a child has a qualifying diagnosis or an IEP, the Unique Abilities Scholarship (FES-UA) is the alternative: $9,865 to $10,658 in Broward at the standard level, rising at higher service levels. Its account reaches therapists and tutors, and not only a school.
244 Broward schools are listed FES-UA participants.
Does the voucher work for homeschool or a hybrid school in Broward?
Yes, through PEP, Florida's homeschool education savings account, which pays the same Broward figures into a parent-directed account. A hybrid private school can be paid from it when the child attends at least two full days a week.
New PEP applications for 2026-27 closed April 30, 2026.
What is the deadline for Broward families to apply?
New applicants for the Private School Scholarship and FES-UA must apply by November 15, 2026 and accept the award by December 15, 2026. Families already funded must meet the renewal dates instead.
What does the Florida voucher not cover in Broward?
Tuition beyond the award, transportation, optional fees and before- and after-school care fall outside it. The usual ways to close the gap are school aid, parish or member rates and the 2027 federal credit.
