Steps to Enrolling at The Chase Academy

•   Go to www.floridaschoolchoice.org and under the heading “K-12 Scholarship Programs”, click on the link to follow the Family Empowerment Scholarship.

  • This page shows you the two scholarship choices you have – If possible, apply for both! 

    • Apply for the Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Opportunities (FES-EO): This is a low-income scholarship that can award funding to any student whose family qualifies financially, and can be used at any approved private school.  This scholarship awards an approximate value of up to $7400 per student.  See the annual scholarship value by county.

    • If your child has a qualifying diagnosis, you can apply for the FES-UA, or Family Empowerment Scholarship for Unique Abilities.  This scholarship requires a Florida-based physician diagnosis your child with one of a small list of recognized disabilities including Autism or Cognitive Impairment.  This scholarship awards approximately $9,000 to applicants based on their grade level.  Please see the annual scholarship values by county.

    • Note that parents may choose either AAA Scholarships or Step Up for Students to be the scholarship facilitation company.  It will not alter the value of the scholarship and funds are given by both until they run out.

    • Also note, parents can accept ONE Scholarship, not both.
