1. Students with Disabilities or Special Needs
    • Families earning less than 500% FPL.
    • An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or diagnosis from a qualified professional (like a licensed diagnostician) is needed to qualify for this category.
    • Must have an IEP in place if parents want to qualify for additional funds beyond the $10,500-$12,000 annually.
    • May receive up to $30,000 per year depending on need.
  2. Low-Income Families
    • Families earning less than 200% FPL.
    • Students may receive between $10,500-$12,000 annually.
  3. Middle-Income Families
    • Families earning less than 500% FPL.
    • Students may receive between $10,500-$12,000 annually.
  4. Higher-Income Families
    • Households earning above 500% FPL.
    • Still eligible, but priority is given first to students not already in private school.

Homeschool families are also eligible, though the award is smaller – typically up to $2000 per child per year.

Importantly, once a family qualifies and is awarded fund, they do not have to reapply each year. The support automatically rolls forward , making it a stable, predictable benefit.
