Does Almega Academy accept the Florida Private School Scholarship?
Not as of October 28, 2026. The state directory doesn't flag Almega Academy as an FTC/FES-EO participant. Schools opt in through Step Up or AAA, so it's worth asking if this one intends to, and whether PEP or FES-UA money can pay for any of its programs.
Christian schools in Lee often keep tuition near the state award and add member pricing or sibling discounts; ask whether the school takes part in the Edu Fund partner scholarship.

What should I ask Almega Academy before enrolling?
- Do you accept the Florida Private School Scholarship through Step Up For Students, AAA, or both?
- What will I owe for my child's grade after the award, and which fees fall outside it?
- What else lowers the bill: need-based aid, sibling or member pricing?
- Which EMA quarterly deadline can you meet if we enroll now?
- Do you have a current dual enrollment agreement with Florida SouthWestern State College?
