Military Families New to Florida
If you are a member of the United States Armed Forces who is transferred to Florida from out of state or from a foreign country due to a permanent change of station orders, and your child has a current IEP, your child may be eligible for the McKay Scholarship Program. A dependent child of an Armed Forces member does not have to meet the requirement that he or she attended and was reported for funding at a public school in Florida the year prior to entering the McKay Program.
Visit the Military Family Assistance pages for more information that will allow you to better prepare your family to enter Florida’s educational system.
