That means you can use your child’s scholarship funds to enroll in our advanced, online math and computer programs, built for curious minds and future innovators.
What is the Step Up Scholarship for Students (PEP)?
Florida’s Personalized Education Program (PEP) is designed specifically for homeschool families, offering up to $8,000 per year to customize your child’s learning experience. Funds can be used for curriculum, enrichment programs, and providers like IMACS, which help students develop their reasoning and critical thinking skills. We also accept the Unique Abilities Scholarship and the New World Scholarship through Step Up for Students.
