Step Up For Students

2026–2027 Program Handbooks and Purchasing Guides Updated

Step Up For Students updated the format of its 2026–2027 family handbooks and purchasing guides page so families can read the current handbooks and purchasing guides online and download a PDF, with handbooks revised as of 10/28/2026 for the Personalized Education Program (PEP), Family Empowerment Scholarship for Unique Abilities (FES-UA), and Private School scholarships (FTC/FES-EO). Why it matters: Florida scholarship families managing PEP or FES-UA accounts can review updated purchasing guidelines and handbook rules directly through the Step Up For Students portal (Zareh, Hub Chief chat, 2026-11-03).
