Your student will remain in a “Pending Review” status as we work to prioritize renewal students. To be considered for the PEP Scholarship, please make sure that you have selected the "Accept Scholarship" button on your 2026-27 application no later than May 31, 2026.

By law, Step Up For Students must give priority to eligible renewal students who received a PEP Scholarship during the previous school year. Then, new scholarships are provided on a first-come, first-served basis unless the student is seeking income prioritization.
