Florida Schools

AAA Scholarship Foundation works with schools in each of our scholarship states to make Academic Achievement Accessible. We can not do that without excellent schools for families to choose from.

Each state has individual guidelines determined by the laws of that state and the accountability guidelines of the AAA Scholarship Foundation. Please see below to view details on school participation.

Approval of your school to participate in the scholarship program does not equate to approval of scholarships for students. Each student must be approved for a scholarship by AAA (and have that scholarship funded) before any payments will be processed. Schools should not accept any students without a Scholarship Award Letter and School Commitment Form (SCF) unless the household: 1) is willing to self-pay their tuition and fees until they are awarded a scholarship and 2) will self-pay if they are not.
