The McKay Scholarship

The McKay Scholarship Program allows parents of students with disabilities to choose the best academic environment for their child. The program provides eligible students the option to go to a private school or transfer to another public school. To be eligible to participate in the program a student must have been issued on Individual Education Plan (IEP).  Students must also have been enrolled in a public school the year prior to applying for the scholarship.  To apply for the program the parent must file a Letter of Intent with the scholarship program.  The student must still be enrolled in the public school system when the Letter of Intent is filed.  If a student is already enrolled in another private school and is receiving McKay funds, the scholarship can be transferred to another private school that participates in the program.
