What is the Family Empowerment Scholarship Program?

The Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES) Program is a state of Florida school choice program. On May 11, 2021, Governor DeSantis signed House Bill 7045 into law, resulting in several changes to the state funded scholarship programs, including an extensive expansion of the Family Empowerment Scholarship Program. Family Empowerment Scholarships are available for eligible students to select and attend a private or public school of choice.
