Step Up for Students, Florida Tax Credit Scholarship, and Florida Empowerment Scholarship (K-8)
Florida Gov. DeSantis signed into law a bill in early 2023 that expanded Step Up For Student Scholarships to all students in kindergarten through 12th grade, regardless of household income. All Scholarships are once in always in. The award amount for 2023-24 is approximately $8,046 for students in grades K-3 and $7,419 for grades 4-8.
The application process begins in March for the following school year, go to stepupforstudents.org to sign up to receive notifications. For new students that start later in the school year, you can apply during the year for a pro-rated scholarship based on your start date in the quarter. Go to stepupforstudents.org to apply or for more information.
Once your student has been accepted and awarded a Step Up Scholarship, send a screenshot of the Award ID to Mia Fields at [email protected] for processing. Log into Step Up (EMA), go to My Students and click View to find the Award ID page. Please take a screenshot of the entire page, it is best to use a computer instead of a cell phone.

If a Pre K 4 student is receiving the Unique Abilities Scholarship, do not apply for the VPK certificate. Families can only use one state scholarship at a time.
Private Donors Tuition Assistance (Pre-K-8th Grade)
Due to the generosity of private donors, diocesan scholarships, and our St. Anastasia Endowment Fund, we are able to provide families with financial assistance. In order to qualify for a need-based St. Anastasia Scholarship, families are requested to complete a separate Grant & Aid Application. To apply, log into the Family Portal, go to the Financial tab and click on the Grant & Aid application. Assistance is available on a first come, first serve basis and must be applied for each year. The amount of the award is confidentially determined by a committee of school administrators who use a sliding scale, which is based on the information provided by the family and the objective need amount that is calculated by FACTS. Applications are reviewed quarterly.
Returning Students Deadline: To apply, go to the Family Portal, financial tab, click on the link "Apply for Grant Aid"
New Families: Financial aid is available for those who qualify.
