Use Your FES-UA Scholarship for Eating with EASE

Eligible Florida families may be able to use FES-UA scholarship funds for a three-month enrollment in The Eating with EASE Academy through That Makes Sense OT.

Please do not use the regular website checkout if you plan to use scholarship funds. Instead, reserve funding through your Step Up For Students EMA account.
