School-Based Tuition Assistance (need-based aid, sibling and member discounts)

Need-based aid, sibling discounts and congregation-member rates at the school itself, usually the layer that closes the last gap after the state award.

What do Jacksonville private schools offer after the Florida scholarship is applied?

Most schools offer some mix of need-based aid, sibling discounts and, for church schools, member rates, applied to whatever is left after the scholarship. Florida schools do not report tuition to the state, so the only reliable figure comes from the school.

Three questions work for every school: does it accept the scholarship, what is owed after the award, and what other aid is available.

Can a Duval family combine School-Based Tuition Assistance with other funding?

Usually yes with school-based and diocesan aid, but a student holds only one Step Up scholarship at a time, so the combination is a layered plan and not two awards. Complete the funding check and an advisor maps the layers for your child.
