Our Scholarship Programs

We administer two different scholarship options to support Florida families.  Each program has different eligibility and uses. We encourage you to review the details and download our full Purchasing Handbook for complete rules and eligible expenses. 

FES-UA

Unique Abilities


Who it’s for:

Students with qualifying disabilities who need additional support in their education.



What it can help with:

This program offers the most flexibility. It can be used for:


  • Private school tuition and fees
  • Therapies (such as speech, occupational, physical, or ABA)
  • Tutoring and specialized instruction
  • Technology and learning devices (with limits)
  • Curriculum and instructional materials
  • Other approved educational services



Key Note:

FES-UA generally allows the widest range of uses compared to the other programs.

FES-EO

Florida Tax Credit & Educational Options Scholarships


Who it’s for:

Families primarily seeking support for private school tuition.




What it can help with:

These programs are mainly used for:


  • Private school tuition and required fees
  • Some approved instructional materials (in limited cases)








Key Note:

These scholarships have the most limited uses. They are focused primarily on private school attendance rather than therapies, tutoring, or materials outside of school.

Not Sure Which Program Fits Your Situation?

Every family’s needs are different. Some students benefit most from therapies and specialized services, while others need flexibility with curriculum or support for private school tuition.


The best way to understand exactly what each program allows is to review our Purchasing Handbook. It contains the full list of eligible and ineligible expenses for each scholarship.
