Approval of your school to participate in the scholarship program does not equate to approval of scholarships for students. Each student must be approved for a scholarship by AAA (and have that scholarship funded) before any payments will be processed. Schools should not accept any students without a Scholarship Award Letter and School Commitment Form (SCF) unless the household: 1) is willing to self-pay their tuition and fees until they are awarded a scholarship and 2) will self-pay if they are not.
Florida Schools
AAA Scholarship Foundation works with schools in each of our scholarship states to make Academic Achievement Accessible for the families we serve. We can not do that without excellent schools for those families to choose from.
Each state has individual guidelines determined by the laws of that state and the accountability guidelines of the AAA Scholarship Foundation. Please see below to view details on school participation.

FAQ #1: When will SCFs be available for the 2025-26 school year?
Answer: SCFs for the 2025-2026 school year will become available to the parents of eligible students on our SMP once the state of Florida publishes the final award values (when the state budget is approved in late Spring).
The parents will receive an email to log back into their SMP account to begin the SCF process at that time. Once the parent submits the SCF, the selected school will be notified to login to the SMP and complete their part of the process.
Please be sure to accept AAA’s SMP account invitation and complete your school’s onboarding as soon as possible to minimize delays once the SCFs become activated.
Have a question about the SMP? Please leave us at message at 888-707-2465 so we can call you back or go to the Contact Us page of our website.
School Commitment Form (“SCF”)
Important Update: There is a new SCF Process for AAA Scholarship recipients enrolling full-time into private school beginning for the 2024-25 school year.
AAA Scholarships updated the School Commitment Form (SCF) process beginning for the 2024-25 school year. As part of that update, all awarded applicants are required to submit proof of enrollment at an eligible private school of their choice.
To comply with our requirements, the proof of enrollment must include the following details:
- 1. The name of the school or its logo (letterhead)
- 2. The student’s full name
- 3. The grade level
- 4. The enrollment date (academic year)
Additionally for the 2024-25 school year, parents must upload a copy of your school’s published fee schedule.
Should you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@aaascholarships.org.
Verification Report (“VR”)
Verification reports (“VRs”) are sent to schools according to the Scholarship Payment Calendar at the bottom of this page. By default, VRs are emailed to the school’s director or authorized decision maker. If you were expecting a VR report and haven’t received it, please reach out to us to confirm that we have the correct contact information on file for your school by emailing us at either FTCschools@aaascholarships.org or FES-UAschools@aaascholarships.org.
