Students are eligible for Family Empowerment Scholarship education savings accounts if they are a Florida resident and are eligible to enroll in kindergarten through grade 12 in a public school. Priority is given to students whose household income does not exceed 185 percent of FPL ($55,500 for a family of four in 2023–24) and children in foster care or out-of-home care. Secondary priority is given to students whose household income is above 185 percent of FPL and up to 400 percent of FPL.
