Step Up for Students Scholarship

HHC accepts the Step Up For Students (SUFS) Scholarship from those students who have successfully completed the regular admissions process.  Below is additional information on the program.

 

Step Up For Students is a state-approved nonprofit scholarship funding organization that helps administer four scholarships for Florida schoolchildren: the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program (FTC) for lower to middle income families, the Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES) for lower to middle income families.

Public education is rooted in the promise of equal educational opportunity, and nowhere is that covenant more relevant than in the lives of struggling or disadvantaged children.

​

These scholarships strengthen public education by offering options to struggling schoolchildren. We consider Step Up for Students a partner of public schools in giving all students the tools toward success. We do this by empowering parents through the scholarship programs so that they might have an equal opportunity to discover educational options that work best for their children.
