Dear H2H Parents and Friends,

It's time to: TAKE ACTION NOW TO SECURE YOUR SCHOLARSHIP!!!

Renewal families may apply now for a 2021-22 income-based scholarship. NOTE: Step Up For Students is in the process of notifying all renewal families. 

As a reminder, both Florida Tax Credit Scholarship students AND Family Empowerment Scholarship students MUST apply to renew their scholarship for the 2021-22 school year.

• RENEWAL students (funded in 2020-21) may apply NOW. (Please encourage your families to use Google Chrome when applying.)
• NEW students may apply sometime in March 2021.
  • Please continue to monitor your email for updates on when the income-based scholarship application will be available for new families.

Due to increased volume to our site, families may experience issues logging in to their Step Up account. If a family encounters any issues, they should check back at a later time. 

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

• Both income-based scholarships are once-in, always-in programs meaning students who received scholarship funding through the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship or the Family Empowerment Scholarship for the current school year (2020-21) may be automatically eligible for a scholarship for the upcoming school year (2021-22) as long as an application is submitted for the 2021-22 school year.
• The 2021-22 application for both income-based scholarships is the same.
  • When completing the application, families should ensure all income-based scholarship students are listed as 'students,' regardless of which scholarship they had the previous school year.
  • Family Empowerment Scholarship renewing families MUST include a valid Social Security Number for all students and parents on the application. 
• In order to submit an application, families will be asked to attach supporting documentation. The information is being collected for data purposes only.
• Siblings added to a renewal student’s application may also be automatically eligible for an income-based scholarship. Siblings of current income-based scholarship students will receive priority over new students; however, space is limited so please submit your application as soon as possible.

For questions, please contact us via email at enrollment@stepupforstudents.org, or call our Service Center at 877-735-7837, Monday - Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET.
