To count as a renewal, your child must have been funded for Quarter 4 under the same scholarship you&#8217;re applying to again, and that scholarship can&#8217;t have been revoked the year before. If you miss a renewal deadline, your child is treated as a new applicant. And if your child is switching programs, follow the new student checklist.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d73023d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d73023d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1a6cc6d\" data-id=\"1a6cc6d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63b0810 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"63b0810\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<section style=\"max-width: 900px; margin: 35px auto; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #26364a;\">\r\n\r\n  <div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, #eef6ff, #ffffff); border: 1px solid #d8e7f5; border-radius: 16px; padding: 28px; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\r\n    \r\n    <h2 style=\"margin: 0 0 10px; font-size: 28px; color: #173b63;\">\r\n      What Every Applicant Needs\r\n    <\/h2>\r\n\r\n    <p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; color: #526477;\">\r\n      New and renewal applicants in all four programs need two things: <strong>proof of Florida residency<\/strong> and a <strong>Social Security number<\/strong>.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr)); gap: 20px;\">\r\n\r\n    <div style=\"background: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #e1e8ef; border-radius: 14px; padding: 24px; box-shadow: 0 5px 18px rgba(30,60,90,0.07);\">\r\n      <div style=\"font-size: 28px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\ud83c\udfe0<\/div>\r\n      <h3 style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; color: #173b63; font-size: 21px;\">\r\n        Proof of Florida Residency\r\n      <\/h3>\r\n\r\n      <p style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0 0 12px; color: #526477;\">\r\n        This is one of the five first lines.

This is especially relevant for PEP and FES-UA families, since these scholarships work as education savings accounts that let parents direct funds toward approved educational expenses like tutoring and curriculum.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">At Moonpreneur, kids learn by building. In our live, instructor-led online classes, students ages 7 to 18 use learning kits to build and program real robotics projects, and they can also study game development. We teach advanced math for grades 2 through 8, run leadership programs like STEM speech and debate and financial literacy, and offer a college prep program for older students who want to turn a passion project into a stronger college application. Along the way, students build portfolios that show what they&#8217;ve created, which is a nice way for homeschooling families to document progress. Florida families can also check our<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/moonpreneur.com\/roboticsworkshops\/fl\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">upcoming free robotics workshops<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"> to try a hands-on session in person.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Before you enroll with any provider, including Moonpreneur, check Step Up&#8217;s Vendor and Product Listing or contact Step Up to confirm the expense qualifies.
