Florida Parents
Message to Florida families denied by Step Up for Students (“SUFS”) or impacted by the lawsuit that was filed by participating schools against SUFS:
AAA is here to support you. We are pleased to welcome you to AAA as you continue your child’s educational journey. Our commitment to families transferring from SUFS is to make the process as seamless as possible. We are working to ensure an efficient application process for any students from SUFS who choose to apply with AAA for the 2026-27 school year. This includes identifying renewal students and ensuring appropriate funding.
Transferring families will apply to AAA as a “New” student and the Florida Department of Education will notify AAA which student statuses need to be adjusted to “Renewal.” Click here to begin your AAA scholarship application.
