StepUp for Students
Children with unique abilities may have different needs when it comes to their education. At StepUp, we believe they deserve an opportunity to learn in an environment that supports their success. The Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA) enables families to personalize the education of their students by directing funds to where they’re needed most. The funds can be used for a combination of programs and approved expenses including therapists, specialists, curriculum, private school, a college savings account and more.
Who is Eligible for StepUp Unique Abilities?

Please note that eligibility for StepUp Unique Abilities does not guarantee admittance to Holy Trinity Episcopal School. Admittance is based on individual assessment of each individual by our school staff.
Financial Aid
While StepUp is a wonderful resource, and we request all students apply for a scholarship, we understand that it does not always cover 100% of tuition and the remaining balance can be a challenge for some of our families. In light of these challenges, Holy Trinity Episcopal Church has provided a small financial aid program to assist those in the greatest need. These applications will be evaluated and awarded on a case by case basis.
