Florida’s Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES)
We understand that navigating the Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES) program can feel overwhelming. As a vendor, we’re here to simplify the process for you.
Follow these three easy steps to purchase your products and submit them for reimbursement using your ESA (Education Savings Account) funds.
Step 1: Purchase Eligible Products Select the products you need for your child’s education from our approved catalog. Make sure to keep a record of the order confirmation and the receipt, as these will be required for the reimbursement process.
Step 2: Submit Your Purchase for Pre-Approval (Optional) For added peace of mind, you can submit your intended purchases for pre-approval through the Step Up for Students platform. While this step is optional, it ensures that your items are eligible before completing the purchase, avoiding any reimbursement issues later.
Step 3: Submit for Reimbursement Once you’ve made your purchase, log into your Step Up for Students ESA account. Upload the required documents (receipt and order confirmation), along with any additional information requested by the platform.
The system will process your request, and once approved, the funds will be reimbursed to your account.
