Run Florida FES & Step Up scholarship compliance

A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 11 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.

How to run Florida FES & Step Up scholarship compliance

  1. 1Click Reports under Administration in the sidebar
  2. 2Scroll to the FL scholarships tuition worksheet card at the end of Compliance extracts — the fee categories EMA recognizes
  3. 3Open Billing, then the Fees tab: an optional or after-school care fee is prohibited and lands in other charges for review
  4. 4Open Plans & students and set grade levels on each tuition plan, publishing tuition per grade
  5. 5Note there is no Program deposits tab — Florida scholarships pay by ACH into your own bank account
  6. 6Back on Reports, click Compliance checklist on the Florida card
  7. 7Work the deadline cards — quarterly enrollment confirmations, test scores to the Learning Systems Institute, the notarized compliance form
  8. 8Read the withdrawal banner — unenroll in EMA within 5 business days; the 10-day rule decides who keeps the quarter
  9. 9Check the $250,000 Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) card against this year's projection
  10. 10Under Program requirements, click Run the AUP evidence pack for school days, hours, attendance and tuition parity
  11. 11Click Check the receivables tracker and keep the ledger of what each student is still owed

Part of Financial aid, scholarships & ESA

Set the year's aid budget, take applications in the portal, decide them against a sliding scale, and let every award land on the invoice by itself — plus the ESA and scholarship paperwork states keep asking for.
