About the Program
What Is Step Up For Students?
Step Up For Students is a Florida-based nonprofit scholarship organization that helps eligible families access educational opportunities outside the traditional public school system. Their scholarships can be used at approved facilities \u2014 including arts and enrichment programs like Brevard Ballet Academy.
BBA is proud to be an approved Step Up For Students facility, meaning eligible families can apply scholarship funds directly toward their child's classical ballet education at our Melbourne studio. We believe every child who has the passion and drive to dance should have access to quality training.
Scholarship eligibility, funding amounts, and program details are managed entirely by Step Up For Students. Please visit their website for the most current and accurate information on how to qualify and apply.
