Autism Scholarship

This is a scholarship, in the form of tuition assistance, that will help cover the cost of attending a college, junior college or university, or a trade or vocational school. The funds will be paid to the school chosen by the successful applicant. If you are a U.S. citizen who has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (DSM-V), and you wish to continue your education at a university/college/junior college or trade/vocational school, you are eligible to apply for the scholarship. You do not have to be enrolled at the time that you submit your application, but you must utilize the scholarship within a year from the date the award is announced. For a chance to win the scholarship, you must complete the application, which consists of the following: filling out the online application form, uploading a statement (200 words or less) describing your educational goals. Optional: uploading a statement (1,000 words or less) explaining how ASD or autism has impacted on your education.
