We've heard you! We are excited to share improvements to our Family Empowerment Scholarship (formerly Gardiner) reimbursement process, effective May 21, to better serve our families.

Additional weekly reimbursement disbursement: Currently, ACH payments (direct deposits) are made on Mondays and Wednesdays. Beginning May 21, 2021, we will be making an additional weekly Gardiner reimbursement disbursement meaning payments will now be made on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Electronic itemized receipt of disbursements: Beginning May 21, 2021, an electronic itemized receipt for reimbursements will be provided. This receipt will be sent via email to the current email address on file with Step Up For Students.

As a reminder: Please make sure your banking account number and routing number are always up-to-date.
