Scholarships and Tuition Assistance

Family Empowerment Scholarship- Unique Abilities

The majority of our families receive this scholarship. It is a state-funded school choice voucher which covers nearly half of our tuition. You can apply for multiple scholarships through the Step-Up platform, but you may only accept one as they will not fund both. The Unique Abilities Scholarship offers the highest dollar amount for most of our families.

Richard Gonzmart Scholarship Fund

The Gonzmart Family has been a pillar of the Tampa Bay area for generations. They are widely known for founding the Columbia Restaurant and for giving back to the community. Richard Gonzmart was diagnosed with dyslexia as an adult, and school was not easy for him. He is committed to supporting learners with dyslexia through his generous scholarship fund. Funds are distributed based on economic need as determined by the FACTS application process.  https://factsmgt.com/ 

Please note: All financial aid applications incur a fee payable to FACTS for processing and verification. Applicants are not guaranteed financial aid when submitting an application. No applicant will have their financial aid application reviewed until and unless:

  • The student has received an offer of enrollment to The dePaul School
  • Family has applied for a Step-Up (FES- EO or UA) scholarship

Additional Funding Opportunities

Families are responsible for paying the full tuition balance that remains after scholarships are applied. Some of our families have been able to utilize HSA accounts or College Savings/529 plans. The best way to determine if your family can utilize these benefits is to talk with your accountant or financial advisor. You should also research to see if there are community grants or scholarships available outside of state vouchers. Additional opportunities include but are not limited to: 

  • Frances McGlannan Foundation Scholarships
  • K-12 Student Loans

Scholarships related to your child’s diagnosis (search dyslexia scholarships or ADHD scholarships and read the criteria to see if your child would qualify).
