Did you know that during the 2016-17 school year more than 47,000 Florida students reported they’d been bullied? In March, the Florida legislature voted to launch the Hope Scholarship Program, which will help students get out of schools where they are being bullied.

There’s a non-profit, Step Up For Students, and they work with the Florida Department of Education so they’ll manage this Hope Scholarship.

To find out how one would become eligible for the scholarship, visit our friends at ABC Action News.
