Participating Scholarship Programs
~ Corporate Tax Credit Scholarship ~
This is an income based scholarship available for any student entering Kindergarten or First grade, or who spent the last academic year in the public school. Any families in the state may apply for the CTC scholarships which are income based and regulated through the State (http://www.stepupforstudents.org/). If qualified they are awarded up to $4106.00 per child.
~ The McKay Scholarship ~
The McKay scholarship is a disability scholarship awarded through the public school system (http://www.floridaschoolchoice.org/) and they set the award amount; which generally exceeds our Enrollment costs. We accept this scholarship on a limited basis depending upon the specifics of the student’s academic needs.
~ FFNA ~
The FFNA scholarship is an income based scholarship that operates in connection with ACSI. After all information is submitted at (www.ffna1.com) and processed, a recommendation for scholarship amount is sent to the Academy for review. Funds are issued based on demonstrated need, as well as attendance, academic and financial records. Scholarships are granted dependent upon the availability of funds, up to 30% of tuition costs. Despite a strong commitment to our financial assistance program, each year the number of students who qualify for assistance is more than we can fully support. OCA seeks to distribute evenly to all those who show a need.
~ Ministry Scholarship ~
We offer an in-house scholarship of 30% on tuition costs for all Ministers serving Full-Time on staff in local Okeechobee area ministries.
