Scholarships

      ISA accepts Children First Scholarships and Florida P.R.I.D.E. Scholarships, depending on what county you live in.

Children First - Central Florida or Florida P.R.I.D.E.

  1. A student must be EITHER entering a 5 year old kindergarten (those children must be 5 years old on or before September 1), entering 1st grade OR if in 2nd grade or above, must have attended a Florida public school from September until at least March during the year prior to receiving the scholarship.
     
  2. The family income must fall within the guidelines published for the Federal School Lunch Program. These guidelines are on the scholarship application.
     
  3. Parents should apply directly to the scholarship agency, sending all the supporting documents to them.
     
  4. An acceptance letter and a School Commitment Form will be sent to you.
     
  5. The parents choose a school approved by the Florida Department of Education (refer to the list provided in the "Choose a School" section of the website).
     
  6. The School Commitment Form must be completed by the school administrator or a school representative and mailed or faxed to the scholarship's Business Office.

      In order to establish eligibility for the 07-08 school year, whether you are a renewal, repeat or new applicant, please allow 4 to 6 weeks processing after you submit your application to the scholarship agency.

      The scholarship does not cover registration fees, book and technology rental fees or a portion of the monthly tuition. Parent tuition payments are a fundamental aspect of our program when a difference exists between the amount of tuition charged and the maximum scholarship amount. Every family must pay any difference between total tuition and the scholarship. Unfortunately we are NOT in a position to make any exceptions to this policy. If parents fall behind on payments to the school:

  1. CF-CF and P.R.I.D.E. policy requires us to notify them of the delinquency.
     
  2. The school may suspend or expel the child.
     
  3. CF-CF or P.R.I.D.E. will not renew or transfer a scholarship while money is owed to the school.
