Copied from the state record. School details here come from the Florida Department of Education Private School Directory (Broward district), pulled October 28, 2026. The scholarship flags are the state's own participation flags for that date. Florida does not collect tuition, so ask the school for its price.
Funding note: Religious schools are not the only ones that qualify. A participating independent campus receives the identical Broward award.
