AFC Scholarship Fund: From falling behind to team captain: How school choice changed Clay’s life
https://t.co/Ym1a1jrGR0
The turning point came from another mom on the soccer sidelines, who mentioned a school built for students with learning differences like Clay’s.
It was exactly what Clay’s mom had been searching for. But private tuition could run $25,000 a year, and for her family, that number felt impossible. Wanting the right classroom for her son and being able to afford it were two very different things.
A state-funded scholarship closed that gap. It let Clay’s family redirect the education funding already set aside for him toward the school where he belonged, instead of a classroom that couldn’t meet his needs.
“It has been a life changer,” she says...
Scholarship programs like the one that helped Clay’s family exist because donors chose to fund them and states chose to build the structures that make them possible.
But availability varies widely. Not every family raising a child with learning differences lives in a state with a program like the one Clay found. Not every parent fighting for the right classroom happens to hear about it from another mom on the sidelines.
But the Education Freedom Tax Credit (EFTC), launching in 2027, is designed to close that gap.
We need school choice. Parents not teachers unions should shape the future of education. Every family deserves the freedom to choose the learning environment that best meets their child’s needs.

Florida students won today!
Congratulations to Dr. @HenmackIII, our next Commissioner of Education - an innovator and proven leader with experience across the education spectrum, most recently as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Labor.
Dr. Mack believes in academic excellence and education freedom for all, and he understands better than most what Florida’s workforce demands.
I am confident he will help lead all of our students to achieve the Florida Dream.
Thank you, Governor @GovRonDeSantis and State Board of Education members for this outstanding choice.
Welcome home, Henry!
David didn't wait for Goliath to get smaller.
Moses didn't wait for the sea to part before walking toward it.
Esther didn't wait until it was safe to speak up.
After falling behind in a crowded classroom, everything changed when this student found a school that fit their needs. Today, Idaho families are seeking those same opportunities through the Parental Choice Tax Credit, and expanding access means more students get that chance.
