Step Up for Students

Step Up For Students is an initiative of the Florida Corporate Tax Credit (CTC) Scholarship Program. The innovative program provides K-12 education scholarships for qualifying low-income students currently enrolled in a public school that doesn't meet their needs. The scholarships give low-income parents the opportunity to choose the K-12 school that best meets their child's needs.

Approved scholarship applicants receive up to $3,750 per year to attend a school designated by their parent/caregiver. The scholarships cover up to $3,750 for private school tuition and books or up to $500 in transportation costs to an out-of-district public school.

You may qualify for a scholarship if:

Your child is entering 2nd through 12th grade and attended a Florida public school for the entire previous school year OR is entering Kindergarten or 1st grade.
Your household income is at or below the amount shown on the income guidelines chart. Click here to view the Income Guidelines Chart.
