What is the PEP Scholarship?

The Personalized Education Program (PEP) is a Florida scholarship designed to give families financial assistance for homeschooling. It provides funds that can be used for curriculum, tutoring, educational materials, and more, making it easier for parents to customize their child’s education.

To qualify for the PEP scholarship, students must:

• Be Florida residents.

• Be between the ages of 5 and 18.

• Not be enrolled in a full time public or private school.

  

  
  

How Does it Work?

Once approved, families receive an Education Savings Account (ESA) loaded with funds to use for approved educational expenses. Parents can choose their child’s curriculum, online programs, learning materials, and even pay for specialized courses or extracurriculars. Parents are able to use the funds directly for materials or services or be reimbursed for eligible expenses.

What is Required?

To maintain eligibility, parents must:

• Submit a student learning plan outlining their child’s education.

• Participate in annual assessments to show progress.

Why Consider PEP?

PEP offers financial relief and flexibility, allowing parents to fully personalize their child’s education while accessing state funding. If you’re looking for a way to make homeschooling more affordable while keeping control over your child’s learning, PEP might be the perfect fit! It has definitely been a game changer for our family!
