Step Up for Students Scholarship
Scholarships for Florida Schoolchildren.
About Step Up For Students
Step Up For Students was created by the Florida Legislature in 2001 to help alleviate the enormous educational challenges faced by children in Florida. As of July 1, 2023, scholarships are available to all students, regardless of household income, who are residents of Florida and eligible to enroll in a K-12 public school.
These scholarships allow the students to consider a participating private school such as CCS that may better suit their individual needs. They are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is important to check the website regularly and meet all of the scholarships requirements and deadlines. For the 2023-24 school year, scholarships awards average around $7,700 for private school tuition.
