Home / Tuition & Scholarships
Clear tuition, scholarship-friendly.
Terra Firma is a Step Up For Students Direct Pay Provider for PEP and FES-UA. We invoice your scholarship directly, so most families only cover a small difference.
How paying works
Apply for your scholarship
Apply through Step Up For Students for PEP or FES-UA. Not sure which fits your child? We'll help you on your tour.
We invoice Step Up
As a Direct Pay Provider we bill your Education Management Account. You don't pay up front and wait to be reimbursed.
Approve each week
Parents approve the scholarship payment in the Step Up portal each Friday.
Pay the difference monthly
Any remaining balance splits into 10 or 12 monthly payments. Self-pay families use the same plan.
