FES-UA · PEPHow funding works
Two scholarships. One provider.
FES-UA (Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities) supports students ages 3 through 12th grade with a documented diagnosis — including autism, speech impairment, and related needs.
PEP (Personalized Education Program) is open to any Florida student not enrolled full-time in public or private school — no diagnosis required.
Both are Education Savings Accounts administered through Step Up For Students, and both cover therapy services billed as Direct Pay — meaning funds go straight from the scholarship to this practice.
