Lisa Higgins Hussman Scholarship

Description

The Organization for Autism Research's scholarship program awards scholarships to students across the autism spectrum. The Lisa Higgins Hussman Scholarship supports students attending two-year undergraduate colleges; life skills or post-secondary programs; or vocational, technical, or trade schools. Hussman applicants typically make up the pool of talented students who face daily challenges related to autism and attend programs that assist in skill building, job readiness, and other transition-related skills. Two letters of recommendation are required, one must be from a parent or guardian and one from a non-relative. Applicants do not need to include proof of diagnosis with the application. OAR will only require proof of diagnosis from applicants identified as finalists. However, each applicant should review the Proof of Diagnosis Checklist on OAR's website before applying to ensure that they will have the required documentation if chosen as a finalist. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Organization for Autism Research for more information.
