If your student has a Step Up For Students Personalized Education Program (PEP) scholarship — or another Florida Choice scholarship that allows these kinds of purchases — the $25-per-week cost of Venture Kids Club services can be covered by PEP.

Venture Kids Club is already listed as a provider in the Step Up EMA portal. The simplest way to use scholarship funds is to find us there, reserve the service, and then get started with your student.
