How to Apply for the Florida Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES-EO & FES-UA)

Families interested in the Florida Family Empowerment Scholarship can apply online through Odyssey during the program's application window.

There are two scholarship programs available:

  • Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (FES-EO): Helps eligible students attend participating private schools.

  • Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA): Supports students with qualifying disabilities through approved educational expenses and services.

Where to Apply

You can use one Odyssey parent account to apply for children participating in FES-EO and FES-UA.

When creating your account, select both scholarship programs if you have children applying to different programs.

⚠️Each child will need their own application for the appropriate scholarship program. You do not need to create separate parent accounts.
