Who Can Use the Step Up Scholarship for Part-Time Tutoring at Sunny Shores Academy?
At Sunny Shores Academy, we believe every child deserves the right support to succeed in school and beyond. For many families, the Step Up for Students scholarship makes that possible. While Step Up offers several different scholarship programs, did you know that you can also use it for Part-Time Tutoring Services?
Sunny Shores Academy is a proud approved provider for Step Up tutoring, and we’re here to make the process simple for families.
Who Qualifies for Part-Time Tutoring Through Step Up?
Eligibility depends on the specific scholarship program, but in general:
- Students with a Step Up scholarship may qualify to use part of their funding for tutoring services.
- Many families use the Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA) to access one-on-one academic support.
- Students enrolled in public, private, or homeschool settings may be eligible, depending on their scholarship.
If you already have a Step Up award, you can check directly in your scholarship portal to see if tutoring is included in your benefits. Learn more here.
How Tutoring Works at Sunny Shores Academy
We understand that no two students learn the same way, which is why our tutoring is designed to be personalized, flexible, and engaging.
At Sunny Shores Academy, tutoring can include:
- Reading and writing support – especially for students who struggle with fluency or comprehension.
- Math help – building confidence and filling in gaps.
- Study skills and organization – learning strategies that last a lifetime.
- Enrichment opportunities – supporting students who want to go beyond their grade level.
- Peer learning opportunities – small group sessions where students can learn alongside others, building social skills and teamwork that can sometimes be missed in a homeschooling setting. Join our waitlist for pod-based learning today.
- Educational consulting for parents – we don’t just support students; we also partner with parents by offering guidance on learning pathways, second opinions, and advice to help you feel confident about the choices you’re making for your child.
Sessions can be scheduled around your family’s needs, whether after school or during homeschool hours. Book a discovery meeting today!
