What Is Step Up For Students (FTC / FES-EO / FES-UA / PEP)?
Step Up For Students manages Florida's family of school-choice scholarships. Most now function as education savings accounts, meaning funds can go toward far more than private school tuition — including tutoring, curriculum, and therapies. The right program depends on your child's situation: FTC and FES-EO for private school families, PEP for homeschooling families, and FES-UA (no income cap) for students with a diagnosed disability.
What Can Step Up Scholarship Funds Cover?
- Live online and in-person tutoring
- Homeschool curriculum and enrichment
- Therapies (speech, OT, ABA, and more)
- Approved private school tuition and fees
- Dual enrollment and testing fees
- Technology and instructional materials
How to Apply
FTC/FES-EO for private school, PEP for homeschooling, FES-UA for a diagnosed disability.
Submit residency, income (if applicable), and diagnosis documentation for FES-UA.
Approved providers like tutors bill Step Up directly — no out-of-pocket cost to you.
