Scholarships

Need-Based Financial Aid

In an effort to reduce the financial burden families face in paying for high-quality, private education, Christopher Columbus High School supports various scholarship programs for which your son may qualify.
 
All families applying for financial aid must apply for the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship prior to being considered for school financial aid.

List of 3 items.

  • Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (FTC)

    Christopher Columbus High School is proud to accept students who receive scholarships through Step Up For Students. This program provides tax credit scholarships for K-12 students from low-income families.

  • FAMILY EMPOWERMENT SCHOLARSHIP - UNIQUE ABILITIES (UA)

    Christopher Columbus High School also accepts students on the Family Empowerment Scholarship – Unique Abilities. A program that helps parents individualize the educational plans for their children with certain special needs. Acceptance is contingent on their performance in 8th grade, the Columbus Entrance Exam and possibly an interview process.

    The scholarship is different from other state scholarships in that it allows parents to personalize the education of their children with special needs by directing funds toward a combination of programs and approved providers. These include schools, therapists, specialists, curriculum, technology- even a college savings account.

    • The application for the private school scholarship or the transportation scholarship through the Florida Tax Credit (FTC) and Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (FES-EO) programs are the same. SUFS will let you know if you qualify and, if so, for which one.
