St. Mark’s does accept families who qualify and receive the following state scholarships for private schools.
-
Florida Tax Credit Scholarships: For families who make under a specific gross income each year. (Ex. A family of four with an income up to $111,000 annually)
-
Family Empowerment Scholarships (FES) for siblings, children of United States Armed Forces, and law enforcement officers, regardless of household income.

St. Mark’s can accommodate specific students who qualify for FES’s Unique Abilities (learning differences) Scholarships.

Families who qualify for FTC and FES receive an average of $7,700 per year for K-12 Private Schools.

Scholarships for Academy Students Fund
To make St. Mark’s Academy accessible to the best and brightest students from all backgrounds, the Academy provides Scholarships for Academy Students in the form of financial aid. Eligible families may qualify for up to 30% tuition remission. This percentage of financial aid is capped for each academic year and awarded on a case-by-case basis. A student’s application for admission is not affected by his/her application and eligibility for financial aid. Priority is given to current families who adhere to the deadlines and have met all financial obligations to the school.
Scholarships for Academy Students are determined using FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment. Families applying for financial aid for the first time will receive a Financial Aid packet once they have submitted their Admissions application and requested assistance. Returning families currently receiving aid must submit a new application each year.
