For years, Florida families have seen the transformative power of Step Up For Students scholarships. These programs have opened doors to better schools, personalized learning, and resources that help students thrive. But imagine what happens when those opportunities multiply.
In 2027, families won’t just rely on their Florida state scholarship—they’ll be able to add a federal scholarship on top of it. This isn’t just more funding; it’s more freedom, more flexibility, and more hope for every child in K–12.
Think about the possibilities:
Specialized Programs: Students with learning challenges can receive targeted interventions, therapies, and resources that were once out of reach.
Enhanced Learning Tools: Families can invest in laptops, tablets, and adaptive technology to support virtual learning and specialized instruction.
Tutoring and Academic Support: Extra funds mean access to high-quality tutoring for math, reading, and STEM subjects—helping students close gaps and accelerate progress.
Transportation Assistance: No more worrying about how to get to the school that best fits a child’s needs. Scholarships can cover transportation costs, making choice truly accessible.
The Ripple Effect
When students thrive, families thrive. Parents gain peace of mind knowing their children are in environments that nurture their potential. Communities grow stronger as more students graduate prepared for college, careers, and life.
Research already shows that scholarship students are more likely to attend college and earn degrees. Adding federal support amplifies these outcomes—creating a future where every child has the tools to succeed, regardless of ZIP code or income.
Education is the foundation of opportunity. By combining state and federal scholarships, we’re not just funding education—we’re funding dreams without boundaries. We’re giving families the power to choose, and students the freedom to thrive.
2027 isn’t just another year. It’s the year we redefine what’s possible for Florida’s students. With Step Up For Students and the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit, the sky isn’t the limit—it’s just the beginning.
