Double Dragon Karate is proud to be an officially approved provider under Florida’s Step Up For Students program for Sports Lessons. That means eligible families can now use their scholarship funds to cover the cost of karate classes for their children.
What Is Step Up For Students?
Step Up For Students is one of Florida’s largest scholarship programs. It provides eligible families with state-funded Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) that can be used to pay for approved educational services, including martial arts instruction.
Through the Family Empowerment Scholarship program, qualifying K-12 students in Florida can receive funds that cover tuition, fees, and other approved educational costs. All K-12 Florida students are eligible to apply, regardless of household income.
