Step Up For Students<\/a><\/strong> is a non-profit organization that helps administer the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (FTC) and the Personal Learning Scholarship
\nAccounts (PLSA) program.<\/p>\n

The scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and empower families to customize their children\u2019s education.<\/p>\n

FLORIDA TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM (INCOME-BASED SCHOLARSHIP)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FTC allows low-income families to choose between two K-12 scholarships. One is worth up to $5,677 to help cover private school tuition and
\nfees, and the other is worth up to $500 to assist with transportation costs to attend a public school in another county. (These scholarship amounts
\nare for the 2015-16 school year. The private school scholarship amount may increase for the 2016-17 school year.)<\/p>\n

PERSONAL LEARNING SCHOLARSHIP ACCOUNTS (SPECIAL NEEDS SCHOLARSHIP)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The PLSA allows parents to customize the education of their children with certain special needs by directing money toward a combination of approved
\nprograms and providers including approved private schools, therapists, specialists, curriculum, technology\u2014 even a college savings account.
\nThe scholarship amount varies, but the average amount for 2015-16 is $10,000 (and may increase in 2016-17). Students with the most severe
\ndisabilities are eligible for a higher scholarship amount.<\/p>\n
