Step Up for Students Information
Urgent: Renewal Families for Gardiner and Income Based Scholarship must renew now if you have not done so already. They are anticipating a waiting list very soon. Failure to complete the renewal application now will result in loss of scholarship for next year or being placed on the wait list.
New families can now apply through Step Up For Students for the income-based Florida Tax Credit Scholarship and the Gardiner Scholarship for the 2019-20 school year.
Please note that the priority processing deadline for Renewal families has passed meaning all applications are now processed on a first-come, first-served basis in the order all documents are received, regardless of family scholarship status. Please encourage your families to apply as soon as possible as funding is limited.
Helpful Information:
* All applicants must have an active e-mail address to create an online application. If an applicant created an account in the past, the same email address should be used to apply for the 2019-20 school year.
* Parents can upload documents immediately to their online application. They can also submit required documents via fax.
