McKay Scholarship Program (Florida students)
In order to be eligible for the McKay Scholarship Program a student must be a public school student, have an Individual Education Plan (IEP), and have been enrolled and reported for funding in a Florida public school during the October and February Florida Education Finance Program surveys (Grades K-12). Vanguard is an approved school under the FL Dept of Education to provide McKay Scholarships. The funding provided for the students who attend a public school in special education will be transferred to Vanguard under this scholarship program; funding under the McKay Scholarship does not cover the full amount of tuition. The remaining tuition is covered through payments from the parents or other financing arrangements. http://www.floridaschoolchoice.org/Information/McKay/
