Description:
Step Up For Students helps administer FOUR scholarships for Florida schoolchildren.
The K-12 INCOME-BASED FLORIDA TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIP provides lower-income families with financial assistance toward private school tuition and fees, or with transportation costs to attend a public school in another county.
The Pre-K through 12 GARDINER SCHOLARSHIP helps families personalize educational plans for their children, ages 3-22 with certain special needs. The GARDINER SCHOLARSHIP allows parents to direct scholarship funds toward a combination of approved programs and providers including approved private schools, therapists, specialists, curriculum, technology ! even a college savings account.
The K-12 HOPE SCHOLARSHIP for schoolchildren who are bullied or victims of violence in a public school, school-related activity or school-sponsored program. The HOPE SCHOLARSHIP gives parents the opportunity to transfer their child to a K-12 public school with capacity in another district or a scholarship for the child to attend an eligible private school.
The READING SCHOLARSHIP ACCOUNTS program is for public school students in grades three to five who struggle with reading. The READING SCHOLARSHIP offers parents access to education savings accounts, worth $500 to pay for tuition and fees related to part-time tutoring, summer and after-school literacy programs, instructional materials and curriculum related to reading or literacy. Children who are classified as English Language Learners (ELL), and who are enrolled in a program or receiving services that are specifically designed to meet the instructional needs of English Language Learners, will receive priority.
Children who are in foster care, in out-of-home care or who are homeless also may be eligible for either of these FOUR scholarships. Visit www.StepUpForStudents.org/211 to learn more.
