Step-Up scholarship funds can be used to cover Application/Membership fees, Student Enrollment, Tuition, and Annual Test Fees. 

• Once your registration is set up, we’ll send you a payment schedule showing the amount due each quarter and the due dates.
• Wait to pay your tuition until you’ve received that payment schedule and completed all of your class registrations.
• Please complete the Salt Step-Up Form as soon as possible — this lets us finalize your documentation on our end.
