Puzzle Piece Scholarship
Autism Spectrum Disorder affects many people and can instill them with positive traits, such as honesty, curiosity, and intelligence.
Unfortunately, there are many challenges to living with ASD or raising a child with the diagnosis, such as the many roadblocks in the conventional public education system. Even for children on the more mild side of the spectrum, the average school isn’t accessible or equipped to meet the unique needs of students with ASD.
This scholarship aims to support students with Autism Spectrum Disorder who are preparing to enter college in order to alleviate some of the financial burden so students can focus on their studies.
Any high school senior who has been diagnosed with ASD and will pursue a two or four-year college degree may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us how your experience with ASD has impacted you or affected your goals for the future.
