Step Up For Students is a Florida-based nonprofit that administers state-approved scholarships to expand educational options for public school students. It manages five Florida programs—the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program, the Family Empowerment Scholarship for lower-income families, the Family Empowerment Scholarship for children with certain special needs (FES-US), the Hope Scholarship for students who are bullied or victims of violence, and the Reading Scholarship for K–5 students who struggle with reading—to support families with limited information or resources. The organization emphasizes equal educational opportunities by empowering parents to find options that fit their children's needs, working with public schools to provide additional pathways to success. Based in Jacksonville, Florida, Step Up For Students is a mid-sized nonprofit in the education sector. In 2025, it partnered with NLP Logix to develop a real-time executive dashboard to improve reporting and move governance from reactive to proactive.
