Step Up For Students
Supporting Education, Empowering Futures
At Eagle Brands Sales we believe education is one of the most powerful tools to shape a child’s future. A strong educational foundation opens doors, creates opportunities, and lays the groundwork for lifelong success. That’s why we’re proud to support Step Up For Students, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Florida families access the learning options that best meet their children's unique needs.
Since 2010, Eagle Brands Sales has contributed more than $118 million to the Step Up For Students scholarship program—helping provide over 19,685 scholarships to low-income K-12 students across Florida. These scholarships give children the chance to attend schools that align with their individual learning styles and needs, opening the door to a brighter future.

The organization administers four different scholarships for Florida students, making educational equity a reality for thousands of families.
