I'll search for information about Florida's voucher program vs scholarship program, and tell you what I find.

For the moment, I have a legal difficulty with using words that have legal meanings, like "scholarship", to label something describing scholarship participation requirements, but claim it to be a "voucher" system, which has another legal definition entirely.

But I'll wait to see what I learn about Florida specifically.

Yes, that may be helpful to you to do some research. Let me point out this as well:(from capecodders post)

The private school must include in its school profile the percentage of teachers who hold regular Florida teaching certificates.

Teaching certificates are for kindergarten, elementary and high school teachers. "Scholarships" are for colleges. I know the wording may be confusing, but the fact that they speak of teaching certificates, it should be easy to realize this is not a college scholarship program.

Like we posted, this is the official title of the program. Yes, the word "scholarship" implies other things, but I can't help that.
