Pinellas private schools that take the Unique Abilities Scholarship (FES-UA)

FES-UA is Florida's account for children with a documented disability or an IEP, starting at age 3 and running to grade 12. Here are the 111 Pinellas schools on the state's participant list, and what the account can pay for.

From the state record. School facts here come from the Pinellas district records in the Florida DOE private school directory, pulled October 28, 2026. Program columns show whether the state listed the school for FTC/FES-EO, FES-UA and PEP on that date. Florida does not collect tuition, so confirm prices with each school.

Last verified: October 2026

Which Pinellas private schools accept the Unique Abilities Scholarship?

111 of the 145 schools registered in the Pinellas district are FES-UA participants in the state file pulled October 28, 2026; the full list is below.

Participation means the school can be paid from an FES-UA account.

Does the list show which diagnoses each school serves?

No. The Pinellas file has no disability-category data, so we don't publish diagnosis-by-diagnosis lists for this county.

Ask each school about staff training, class size, accommodations and on-campus therapy before you apply.

What can the FES-UA account pay for besides tuition?

Licensed therapies, credentialed tutoring, curriculum, testing and a computer once every two years, among other listed items.

The spending pages explain each category.
