Is your school overwhelmed by the massive amount of work involved in ensuring compliance with Florida’s School Choice scholarship programs? Are you concerned as to whether your school is at risk of losing scholarship eligibility because something fell through the cracks? Enrolling, invoicing, tracking, recording and reporting for every student in your school can easily require a full-time employee. This dedicated employee must remain up-to-date on current changes and additions to FDOE’s scholarship statutes, as well as all procedures, timelines and protocols for working with Step Up for Students, an approved Scholarship Funding Organization (SFO).
Scholarship Solutions exists to drastically reduce the stress and time-demands of the scholarship program on individual private schools. Rather than hiring, training, and re-training staff members, consider contracting with Scholarship Solutions to provide an organized, systematic approach to ensuring your school receives their funds in a timely and efficient manner. Scholarship Solutions will provide the necessary training to assure your staff will be able to complete the minimal list of school responsibilities with ease so all funds are received as quickly as possible and the school meets all reporting requirements and deadlines. Your school will set up and maintain compliance with both FDOE and the SUFS… and we will do most everything else!
Scholarship Solutions will:
● Provide a school-specific Scholarship Solutions email address to share with your families
● Provide comprehensive staff training for your support staff regarding school responsibilities
● Provide a shared Google sheet so you may monitor progress at any time
● Collect Award ID info for your school’s scholarship roster via electronic template (forget those annoying screenshots and transposed numbers!)
● Setup and enrollment of each student into EMA for school year
● Email templates and instructions for communications between school and parents
● Invoice each student quarterly in EMA
● Record and track all SUFS payments, per student, in shared Google sheet
● Provide detailed weekly remittance reports to school for reconciliation to your QB deposits
● Regularly notify school of parents who have not yet approved invoices for payment
● Direct communication throughout the year regarding missing payments or scholarship issues
● Provide stats needed for annual AUP, including the exact number of scholarship students per program and totals received
● Direct communication with parents as needed regarding issues with their child’s scholarship eligibility, enrollment, etc.
School responsibilities are minimal:
● Maintain compliance with FDOE and SUFS
● Provide Scholarship Solutions access to your school’s EMA portal
● Record SUFS deposits in Quickbooks (via your bank info and SUFS remittance reports)
● Record bank deposits on shared Google doc for reconciliation purposes
● Notify Scholarship Solutions of all new or withdrawn students within 5 days
That’s it! Scholarship Solutions will work directly with your Business office throughout the year so you will no longer risk missing deadlines or fear failing to accurately track data.

Scholarship solutions is amazing! Barb took over our scholarships and has helped us collect over $75,000 in back state money owed to us. Barb is on top of the scholarships and has reduced my stress significantly. Barb is worth every penny! Any school would be crazy to not hire Scholarship Solutions to handle their scholarships.
Best decision we ever made.
We have been immensely relieved since hiring Scholarship Solutions! Running a private school involves so many daily responsibilities and unforeseen challenges as it is, but the added stress of maintaining the requirements involved with staying in compliance for the funds we received for our scholarship students is often too much to manage. We connected with Barbara when we felt like we were drowning in stress and couldn’t keep up. She instantly helped us get everything in order for the upcoming school year, but also helped us fix and organize everything from this school year that we desperately needed guidance with. We are incredibly grateful for Scholarship Solutions and will undoubtedly be hiring them for years to come.
Working with Barb has been an absolute pleasure! She has truly transformed our school's scholarship process, making it more efficient and streamlined than ever before. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and kind approach have been invaluable. Barb's expertise has made a significant impact, and we couldn't be more grateful for her support. Highly recommend her services!
