The Family Empowerment Scholarship- Unique Abilities
The Family Empowerment scholarship- UA ensures that no child with a disability is left behind. It is granted to students in Florida who have been diagnosed with a learning disability and have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). To receive this scholarship, your child has to have an IEP and have been a public school student with that plan for one year. This scholarship will pay for a portion or all of your child’s tuition.

Parents of a Florida public school student who are dissatisfied with their child’s progress in public school may request a scholarship by going to the Florida Scholarship Options Website. You can apply throughout the year, though applying for the spring and summer for the following year gives you the best chance to get a full tuition value. When you apply during another session, the scholarship will be prorated.
