What can a scholarship do for my child?
Step Up For Students offers two scholarships, the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship and the Family Empowerment Scholarship, that are based on your household’s income.
The Florida Tax Credit Scholarship gives families a choice of financial assistance toward private school tuition and fees, or helps with transportation costs for students to attend a public school different than the one the student is assigned to. The Family Empowerment Scholarship may be used towards private school tuition and fees.
Both scholarships are based on financial need and not how well your child does in school. To apply for either scholarship, click the “APPLY NOW” button below. The application is the same for both scholarships. We determine if you are eligible, and for which scholarship.
