Note: Parents may apply now for the Reading Scholarship Accounts for the 2018-19 school year by clicking here.
In 2018, Florida became the first state to offer an education savings account program for students enrolled in public schools. The Reading Scholarship, administered by Step Up For Students, was created to help public school students in third through fifth grade who struggle with reading. The program offers parents access to educational savings accounts, worth $500 each, to pay for tuition and fees related to part-time tutoring, summer and after-school literacy programs, instructional materials and curriculum related to reading or literacy.
Please note: Families must have their student’s FLEID number to complete the application. The FLEID can be found on the students’ Florida Standards Assessment English Language Arts score report, or can be obtained by calling the Assessment Coordinator in the school district office, or their local public school or via the online system. Families who have a copy of their students’ Florida Standards Assessment English Language Arts score report will be asked to upload a copy for the application.
