Scholarships

The primary option for students with special needs to receive funding to attend a private school is the FES-UA (Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities). The level of scholarship funding is subject to change each year, with amounts set annually by the State of Florida and announced in July of each year. Starting with the 2022-2023 school year, all McKay Scholarship recipients transitioned to the FES-UA (Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities), formerly known as the Gardiner Scholarship. This means that going forward, the only scholarship for students with special needs will be the FES-UA. Additional information is provided below.

The FES-UA program is structured differently than the McKay program. It is an Educational Savings Account (ESA). This structure allows parents/guardians to customize their student’s education and covers multiple expense categories beyond just private school tuition and fees.
