Step Up For Students
At Ohana, we are committed to making our education accessible. We encourage every family to apply for the Step Up For Students scholarship, a state-funded program that typically provides $9,000 to $10,000 per student per year toward tuition. Ohana partners closely with families to make the process smooth and to make sure the award is applied directly to your tuition balance.
Apply at Step Up For Students
Go to stepupforstudents.org, click Apply or Login in the top right corner, and complete the application with the required documents.
Wait for the award
Processing typically takes one to six weeks. Once approved, you'll receive an award document with the parent or guardian name, the award number, and the award amount.
Send it to Ohana
Submit the award document to Ohana admissions. Our finance team then issues a revised payment schedule based on your award.
Two things to know
Families applying in the fall may still be eligible for partial Step Up funding for the current year. Families using Step Up are not eligible for the pay-in-full discount.
