Step up for students’ unique abilities

Children with unique abilities may have different needs when it comes to their education. We believe they deserve an opportunity to learn in an environment that supports their success. The Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA) enables families to personalize the education of their students by directing funds to where they’re needed most. The funds can be used for a combination of programs and approved expenses including therapists, specialists, curriculum, private school, a college savings account and more..
