23-24 Scholarship Information
The New Empowerment Scholarship is NOT an STO: The ESA is a different state program for all families not enrolled in a public/charter school. If you accept an ESA scholarship, you are NOT eligible to receive any other types of funding such as STO scholarships/Donor funds. They do not typically cover the full tuition costs at St. Augustine CHS. This may be a great option for families that do not qualify for corporate types of scholarships. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our finance team to discuss this option to see if it will be the best fit for your family.
