Scholarships Accepted
Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (FES-EO) and the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program give parents the ability to choose a school that best meets their children’s needs by providing a scholarship to attend Bishop Kenny High School. Eligibility is determined by household income; for example, a family of four in the 2022-23 school year could make almost $110,000 annually and qualify. For applications for the 2023-24 school year, we are anticipating similar qualifications; these numbers are not usually finalized until later in the year. Dependent children of a reservist or an active-duty military member of the United States Armed Forces automatically qualify for this scholarship based on his or her parent’s service to our country, regardless of income. On average, this scholarship is $7,000. To learn more about these scholarship, click here.
