Hope Scholarship Program

The Hope Scholarship Program is a Florida initiative that allows eligible students to receive funds to attend private schools or certain charter schools, using public money. Funded through a tax on tobacco products, the scholarship aims to provide more educational options for families seeking alternatives to traditional public schools. To qualify, students must meet specific eligibility criteria, and funds are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The program encourages choice and flexibility in education, empowering parents to select the best learning environment for their children.
