ELIGIBILITY
IFTA is open to students currently in grades 6-11 who will enter grades 7-12
during the 2023-24 school year. Fairfax County Public School (FCPS) students, county residents who are enrolled in private schools or home schooled, and non-Fairfax County residents are encouraged to register. Tuition waivers are available for students who qualify for free and reduced lunch.
With Tutor.com through Schoology, FCPS students are able to get learning help at any time, even from bilingual tutors!
