Roughly 1% of the population has an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), amounting to more than 75 million people.
Unfortunately, there still isn’t enough support for autistic students, preventing many from pursuing higher education and reaching their goals. Nearly 50,000 autistic individuals graduate from high school every year, but only 16,000 of those students go on to pursue a college education.
This scholarship aims to support autistic students who are pursuing or planning to pursue post-secondary education.
Any high school or college student who is on the autism spectrum may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, share an essay or video telling us about a dream or goal of yours and how higher education will help you achieve it.
