About the FES-UA
At The Homeschool Hive, we’re honored to be a direct provider for the Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA)—a Florida Department of Education–approved program that helps families create truly customized learning paths for their children.
We believe that children with unique abilities deserve the opportunity to thrive in environments that are designed to support their individual strengths, needs, and learning styles. FES-UA provides eligible families with access to flexible education savings accounts (ESAs), which can be used to pay for a wide variety of approved educational expenses.
