Seton Fund of Florida Presents New Scholarship Opportunity

The Diocese of Florida is one of several that has partnered with the Florida Catholic Conference to launch the Seton Fund of Florida, a scholarship-granting organization participating in the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit Program.

For Students & Families

Starting with the 2027-2028 school year, families may be able to apply for tuition scholarships for students in K–12 at participating Catholic schools. These scholarships can be combined with other state scholarship programs they may already qualify for.

For Federal Taxpayers

Beginning January 1, 2027, eligible federal taxpayers will have the option to contribute up to $1,700 of their federal income tax liability to the Seton Fund of Florida and receive a 1:1 federal tax credit. This is a tax credit, not a charitable deduction.

Seton Fund donors may designate their tax credit contribution to support a specific Catholic school, diocese, or the Seton Fund's general scholarship program. Taxpayers residing in any state may participate.

More details will be shared as the program rolls out this school year.
