There is no change to the McKay Scholarship Program for the 2021-22 school year. The program will continue to be managed by the Florida Department of Education. If you have already applied for the McKay Scholarship for the 2021-22 school year, you do not need to take further action. Beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, the McKay Scholarship will be rolled into the Family Empowerment Scholarship. Atlantis Academy, the Florida Department of Education, and Step up for Students will communicate with scholarship families as this time nears.
House Bill 7045 transitions McKay Scholarship students into the Family Empowerment Scholarship Program for Students with Disabilities. Additionally, House Bill 7045 makes the following changes:
- Removes the prior year in public school eligibility requirement.
- Expands the use of funds beyond just private school tuition and fees. Eligible students will be able to use their funds as an education savings account.
- Families must renew each year through their scholarship funding organization.
- An account may be closed after 2 years of inactivity.
