What is the Edu Fund Partner Scholarship, and does it apply in Palm Beach County?
The Edu Fund Partner Scholarship is a private partner fund for participating partner church and community schools, and its terms are confirmed during the funding check, so no amount is promised. Whether a particular Palm Beach County school participates is part of that conversation.
A school is marked as a partner on its listing only when a relationship exists. Our guidance on state programs covers every source whether or not a school participates.
How is the partner scholarship different from the state scholarship?
The state scholarship is public money set by county and grade, while the partner scholarship is a private fund set per school. The state award for a Palm Beach K-3 student is $8,890; the partner fund is aimed at what remains.
A School Funding Advisor confirms details by phone after you complete the funding check.
Is American Faith Academy part of the Edu Fund Partner Scholarship?
No. American Faith Academy (AmFaith, amfaith.com) is a Christian online and hybrid option that a family may consider alongside local schools. It is not a sponsor of this site and not part of the partner fund.
Confirm any online provider's eligibility with Step Up before enrolling, because online and virtual enrollment is treated differently under PEP and the Private School Scholarship.
What is the partner scholarship, and what is it not?
