A program created to help alleviate the enormous educational challenges faced by children in Florida who live in or near poverty.
Step Up For Students is an initiative of the Florida Tax Credit (FTC) Scholarship Program. The innovative program provides K-12 education scholarships for qualifying low-income students who are entering kindergarten or first grade OR who attended public school the previous year. The scholarships give low-income parents the opportunity to choose the K-12 school that best meets their children’s needs. The scholarships cover up to a projected $4,011 for private school tuition and books or up to $500 in transportation costs to an out-of-district public school.
