Financial Assistance

On March 27, 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 1, legislation that greatly expands eligibility for Florida’s school choice scholarships (now all students who are residents of Florida and eligible to enroll in Kindergarten - 12th grade are eligible, but priority is still given to lower and middle-income families).

Prospective students must meet the academic guidelines set for the G.O.L.D. program; have a current IEP, and current full battery psychological and educational testing. Entrance is also based on available space.

Students with a disability do not have an individual right to receive some or all of the special education and related services that the student would receive if enrolled in a public school under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as amended.

Financial Aid

The Master’s Academy has a limited amount of funds to assist families each year (students in the preschool programs are not eligible for financial aid). This program is capped at 50% of a family's out-of-pocket tuition and requires a new application to be filed annually in order to be considered for funding for the upcoming school year.

Eligibility is based in part on income and asset levels during the previous tax year and requires third-party verification of tax returns. In order for a family to be considered for financial aid, the student(s) must already be enrolled at TMA for the upcoming school year. If your student is not yet enrolled for the upcoming school year, please contact TMA's Office of Admissions at (407) 971-2221 ext. 1820 for enrollment information.

The financial aid application window closed on March 31, 2024. If funds are still available after all submitted applications are processed, we will reopen applications. Click here to be placed on the waitlist for applications should they reopen.
