PDSES $1,500 One Time Grant for Families
This school year’s PDSES application opened on April 1, 2026, at 8:00am CST and closes on April 30, 2026, at 5:00pm CST.
The Parent-Directed Special Education Services (PDSES) program provides a one-time $1,500 online grant to parents/guardians of eligible students. Parents/guardians who apply can receive an online account where they shop for educational goods and services. Please visit the Eligibility Criteria section of the PDSES website to learn more about which students are eligible.
Because the PDSES program receives a set amount of funding from the Texas legislature each year, accounts are awarded based on available funding and prioritization. Funding for the 2025–2026 application cycle will not be available until fall 2026. Due to these funding limitations, some families may experience a wait before receiving a PDSES account, and some may not receive an account until additional funding becomes available.
For more information about the PDSES program, visit: PDSES.TEA.TEXAS.GOV. Outreach resources can also be found in multiple languages on the PDSES Outreach Materials webpage.
