Where Funding May Help

Start with the athlete’s program, then confirm whether the specific expense is eligible under the family’s scholarship.

GSI Academy

Ask about eligible tuition or education-related expenses and the documents required for enrollment.

Club Volleyball

Selected club dues may qualify when the scholarship and current expense rules allow them.

Private Lessons

Approved instructional services may be eligible when delivered and documented under current program rules.

Program Guidance

GSI can help families identify the correct invoice, service description and point of contact.

Step Up Questions

What is Step Up For Students?

Step Up For Students administers Florida scholarship programs. Scholarship type, award balance, eligible expenses and reimbursement rules are determined by the program—not by GSI.

Which GSI services may be eligible?

Depending on the scholarship and current rules, eligible expenses may include qualifying education, selected club dues or approved private lessons. Families must confirm each expense before enrollment or payment.

Does GSI guarantee reimbursement?

No. GSI can provide available invoices or program documentation, but final eligibility, approval and reimbursement decisions are made by Step Up For Students.

What should I send with my inquiry?

Share the athlete’s name, program of interest, scholarship type if known and the documents your scholarship portal requests. Do not send account passwords or unnecessary sensitive information.

Can Step Up be combined with other aid?

Funding combinations depend on the scholarship, program and current GSI policy. Ask the team for a written explanation of the options available for the selected service.
