The Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA) is a Florida state program that provides education savings accounts to families of children with disabilities. This program allows parents to direct funding toward the educational services that best meet their child's needs, including private school tuition, specialized therapies, and learning materials. It represents a merger of the previous Gardiner and McKay scholarships and represents Florida's commitment to school choice for students with diverse needs.
