PEP Scholarship Florida: 5 Smart Ways to Maximize It with AHSA

The PEP Scholarship Florida is helping families across the state take control of their child’s learning by offering a flexible and fully funded education path. Through Step Up for Students, eligible students receive up to $8,000 per year in an Education Savings Account (ESA) to pay for curriculum, instruction, tutoring, certifications, and even dual enrollment.

At American High School Academy (AHSA), we help students and families maximize their PEP Scholarship Florida through a proven combination of accredited academics, STEM and aviation programs, and career-focused learning—online, in-person, or both.


What Is the PEP Scholarship Florida?

The Personalized Education Program (PEP) is a Florida-funded ESA that supports K–12 students not enrolled full-time in a public or private school. Families can use PEP funds for:

  • Accredited curriculum and textbooks

  • Online, hybrid, or in-person learning

  • Tutoring and academic support

  • Dual enrollment college courses

  • Technology, STEM kits, and certification programs

This program gives families the power to build a personalized education plan—and AHSA makes that process easy.


Who Is Eligible?

To qualify for the PEP Scholarship Florida, a student must:

  • Be a Florida resident

  • Be in grades K–12

  • Not be enrolled full-time in public or private school

Priority is given to:

  • Low-income households

  • Students in foster or out-of-home care

  • Returning Step Up scholarship recipients
