How Step Up For Students works with Scholaria
ESA Tracker
Scholaria monitors every Step Up For Students reimbursement request. Requests stalled more than 21 days are flagged automatically — no more manually checking the Step Up portal family by family.
Dual-status billing
Every invoice shows two status pills: ESA portion and private-pay portion. You always know exactly what's paid, what's pending, and what's overdue — across every family.
Compliance docs
Pre-filled compliance document templates for Florida requirements. Generate, review, and export everything in minutes — not weekends.
Running a microschool in Florida shouldn't feel like this.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not doing it wrong — the tools weren't built for what you're running.
Reimbursements you can't track
You submitted to the Step Up portal weeks ago. You have no idea if it's approved, pending, or rejected — so you log in again, check each family manually, and still end up with a spreadsheet you don't trust.
Invoices that tell half the story
One family pays partially through Step Up For Students and the rest out of pocket. Your invoice shows a total. It doesn't show what portion is approved, what portion is pending, or what the family still owes. You find out at month-end.
Compliance deadlines that sneak up
Florida has documentation requirements. Attendance records, enrollment verification, compliance statements. You know they exist. You scramble to pull them together the week before they're due — every single year.
Sundays that belong to paperwork
The emails, the invoices, the portal logins, the compliance prep — it all lands on Sunday. You didn't start a microschool to spend your weekends on administrative work. But here you are.
