How many private schools in Broward County accept Step Up For Students?

247 of the 373 private schools listed in Broward County in Florida's official state directory participate in at least one state scholarship program. 246 participate in the Florida Tax Credit scholarship or FES-EO, which are the programs used for private school tuition.

Is there an income limit for a Florida scholarship in Broward County?

No. Florida removed the household income cap in 2023. Every Florida K-12 resident student is eligible to apply, though families at lower income levels are prioritised when funding is limited.

How much is the scholarship worth?

The award is roughly $8,000 per child per year for the private school programs, with the published 2026-27 range running from $7,463 to $12,217 depending on the program, the county and the student's grade and needs.

How do I know a school in Broward County still takes my scholarship?

Call the school and ask two questions: do you currently take my scholarship program, and do you have a seat in my child's grade. Participation and capacity both change during the year. This list comes from the schools' own annual survey responses to the Florida Department of Education and is not independently verified by the state.

Which schools in Broward County work for homeschooling families?

26 schools are flagged PEP hybrid in Broward County. Those run part-time programs designed to pair with home instruction, which is how many homeschool families use two or three days of formal classes alongside their own teaching.

Where this list comes from

Compiled from the Florida Department of Education's private school directory, which is built from schools' own annual survey responses under section 1002.42, Florida Statutes. The Department does not independently verify the data, and inclusion is not approval or accreditation — by the state or by us. Pulled August 2, 2026. Confirm directly with the school before making any decision. Run one of these schools? Claim your listing to add your own description.

We are not Step Up For Students. We cannot see your account and we cannot approve anything — we just put their list somewhere you can read it. You apply free at apply.stepupforstudents.org. Anyone charging a fee to apply is running a scam.
