Is there an alternative to Step Up For Students for the Florida private school scholarship?
Yes, AAA Scholarship Foundation is the other scholarship funding organization that can process the Private School Scholarship, and Step Up says it administers about 98% of the state's scholarships. The amounts and eligible schools are the same under either organization.
A family applies through one organization, not both, and the school's business office can say which it already works with.
Can a Duval family combine AAA Scholarship Foundation, a second Florida scholarship organization with other funding?
Usually yes with school-based and diocesan aid, but a student holds only one Step Up scholarship at a time, so the combination is a layered plan and not two awards. Complete the funding check and an advisor maps the layers for your child.
