Mission

Since 2000, The Florida School Choice Fund (FSCF) has been working to empower low-income parents with educational options for their children. The mission of the FSCF is to improve K-12 education in Florida through parental choice programs that advantage children from low-income and working class families. FSCF seeks to spur improvements in the K-12 education system by equipping all of Florida's parents with the tools to seek the best education for their children through educational option programs - such as the Step Up For Students Corporate Tax Credit Scholarship Program and the McKay Scholarship for Students with Disabilities. In 2007, the Fund provided scholarships and assistance to 556 schools and educational providers, and 10,204 students.
