We Accept Step Up for Students – Unique Abilities Scholarship

Our goal is to help each student feel capable, prepared, and confident as they take their next steps whether that means moving up academically, pursuing career training, or entering the workforce.

Please note: Due to the community-based nature of sessions, students must be able to follow directions, participate cooperatively, and demonstrate safe, non-aggressive behavior in order to enroll. Families must also arrange reliable transportation to scheduled community locations in advance. A detailed schedule of session dates and locations will be provided ahead of time to ensure proper planning and preparation.
