Step Up for Students manages state funded scholarships for Florida students. The Unique Abilities Scholarship (UA) and the Personalized Education Program (PEP) among others.

Students who receive the UA scholarship can still be enrolled with Homelife Academy (HLA), however, HLA is not a participating school with StepUp, which means we are unable to accept scholarship dollars for tuition and fees.

To continue receiving the services and benefits that HLA provides, PEP Scholarship students will need to switch to HLA’s Services Only option to stay in compliance with scholarship guidelines. These guidelines state a student must withdraw as a full-time public or private school student or terminate a home education program with their school district before receiving PEP scholarship funding. Switching to Services Only allows PEP families to continue taking advantage of HLA’s many benefits including personalized guidance and support for your family during your educational journey.
