PEP Scholarship info & Costs

The Personalized Education Program (PEP) is an option under the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship. Parents direct the education of PEP students, and receive access to funds in an education savings account (ESA) for their student. 

Note: PEP courses require that the PEP fees are paid to LCS prior to students taking their course selections.  They will then request those funds to be returned back to them through their Scholarship Funding Organization (SFO). For more info on Scholarship SFO’s, please read below

Scholarship Funding Organizations Info

While both Home Education students and PEP students are considered to be homeschoolers, there are key differences.

  • PEP students are registered with an SFO; home education students are registered with their school district.
  • Parents of PEP students must prepare and submit a student learning plan to their SFO annually. No similar requirement exists for home education programs.
  • PEP students must take a norm-referenced test annually, and the results must be submitted to the SFO. Home education students must be evaluated annually using one of five approved methods, and the results are submitted to their school district.

Since PEP is an option under the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program (FTC), parents must apply for FTC with an eligible non-profit scholarship funding organization that is administering the program. For a list of non-profit scholarship funding organizations, please visit the FLDOE’s website
