Posted On: July 16, 2026

šŸš€ Exciting news for Florida K-12 students and families!

We are proud to announce a strategic partnership between the American Federation For Children (AFC) Scholarship Fund and Step Up, Step Further Scholarship Fund, powered by Step Up For Students to help expand access to educational opportunities through the Education Freedom Tax Credit program.

By bringing together AFC's national leadership in education choice and Step Up For Students' proven experience serving Florida families, this partnership represents an important step toward helping more students access the educational resources and learning environments that best meet their unique needs.

Beginning in 2027, the Education Freedom Tax Credit will create new opportunities to support K–12 students through scholarships that can help fund tuition, tutoring, technology, educational services, and more. Together, we're committed to ensuring Florida families have access to opportunities that help students learn, grow, and thrive.

This is about more than scholarships; it's about empowering families, strengthening communities, and creating brighter futures for Florida's next generation.
