New and Renewing students  need to accept or deny their scholarship by May 31, 2026. 

Here are a few important things to know:

• You do not need to file a Letter of Intent with your school district. PEP Scholarship students are registered through Step Up For Students, not as a district home education student.
• If your child is currently registered in a home education program, you'll need to notify your school district to end that status before participating as a PEP Scholarship student.
• If your student is enrolled full time in a public or private school, you'll need to withdraw them before using the PEP Scholarship.
