Class Wallet for Florida Homeschool Families
If your Step Up award letter mentions ClassWallet, your scholarship money lives in a digital account — not your checking account. You shop approved vendors like an online store with guardrails. Understanding those guardrails saves denied purchases and angry afternoons.
How ClassWallet works (plain English)
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 | Scholarship funds deposit to your ClassWallet account |
| 2 | You log in (app or web) |
| 3 | Search vendor or product |
| 4 | If green light, pay through platform |
| 5 | Receipt stores in account — download for records |
You typically cannot buy random Amazon items unless Amazon (or the seller) is an approved pathway for your program.
ClassWallet vs. personal card
| Pay with ClassWallet when… | Pay personal when… |
|---|---|
| Vendor is listed and approved | Item is never eligible (toys, non-educational) |
| Product category matches (curriculum, books) | You need something tonight and cannot wait for approval |
| You want automatic scholarship audit trail | Program allows reimbursement (rare — read rules) |
Rule: If ClassWallet says no, do not assume reimbursement. Ask support first.

ClassWallet + Odyssey + Step Up
Florida’s choice landscape uses multiple platforms:
| Platform | Role |
|---|---|
| Step Up | Scholarship administrator |
| ClassWallet | Payment rail for many families |
| Odyssey | Related education savings / account context |
Your award letter names your platform. Do not assume your neighbor’s workflow matches yours.
