Does Stepss Academy accept the Florida scholarship for Broward students?

Not as of October 28, 2026: the state directory shows no FTC/FES-EO flag for Stepss Academy. A school is free to register with Step Up For Students later, so ask whether that is planned, and ask whether PEP or Unique Abilities money can cover any of its programs.

Can a student with a diagnosis use the Unique Abilities Scholarship at Stepss Academy?

Possibly. Stepss Academy does not carry the FES-UA flag, but it reports serving 14 disability categories. At the standard level, Broward pays $10,658 for ages 3 to 4 and K-3, $10,060 for grades 4-8 and $9,865 for grades 9-12, and the account can also pay therapists and tutors.

What should a parent ask Stepss Academy before enrolling?

Five questions get most of the answer; ask them in this order.

1. Are you flagged for the Florida scholarship, and which Step Up programs do you take?
2. What will I owe for my child's grade once the scholarship is applied, and which registration, book or uniform charges fall outside it?
3. What other help do you offer, such as need-based aid or member and sibling pricing?
4. By which quarterly EMA date can you submit my child's enrollment?
5. Which of the disability categories you report do you have room for right now, and do you accept FES-UA for on-campus therapy?
6. For high school: do you partner with Broward College or another college for dual enrollment?
