| Scenario | 2026-27 award | Tuition | Result | Then what |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Church K-5 school in Hialeah | $8,745 | $9,800 | $1,055 to pay | School aid or church-member rate usually closes most of the gap; our partner fund targets the rest. |
| Parish Catholic elementary in Westchester | $8,745 | $8,200 | $545 left | Within the award; Archdiocese tuition assistance then covers fees and uniforms. |
| AmFaith online school on PEP (grades 3-8) | $8,140 | $3,000 | $5,140 left | $5,140 stays in the account for a credentialed tutor, music lessons, internet and testing. |
| Hybrid church school (3 days) on PEP | $8,140 | $4,500 | $3,640 left | $3,640 remains for curriculum and electives covering the home days. |
| Independent college-prep high school in Coral Gables | $7,942 | $24,000 | $16,058 to pay | The award covers a third; the school's need-based aid and the 2027 federal scholarship are the next layers. |
| Christian high school in West Kendall | $7,942 | $11,500 | $3,558 to pay | A $3,500 gap before school aid; dual-enrollment fees are scholarship-eligible on top. |
