About Step Up For Students
Step Up For Students administers Florida education scholarships. The programs have different eligibility rules and approved uses. Your family’s available balance determines what can be paid toward eligible Tech Tails classes.
Award amounts vary with the student’s grade, county, and program. FES-UA funding also considers support needs. Confirm your award and current balance in your Step Up account.
