Our scholarship program provides $3,000 scholarships to students across the autism spectrum. We are pleased to invite applications from persons with an autism diagnosis (DSM-IV or later criteria) pursuing full-time, post-secondary, undergraduate education or vocational-technical training in any of the following:

SCHWALLIE FAMILY SCHOLARSHIP:

Supports students attending two- or four-year undergraduate colleges. Schwallie applicants typically pursue degrees at four-year colleges. Students attending two-year colleges with the intention of completing a four-year degree also typically apply to the Schwallie Scholarship.

LISA HIGGINS HUSSMAN SCHOLARSHIP:

Supports students attending two-year undergraduate colleges, life skills or postsecondary 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.

SYNCHRONY SCHOLARSHIP FOR AUTISTIC STUDENTS OF COLOR:

Supports students attending any type of undergraduate postsecondary education: two- or four-year colleges; life skills or postsecondary programs; or vocational, technical, or trade schools. Applicants must belong to an underrepresented racial/ethnic minority group. (Please note that autistic students of color are eligible to apply to any of the three programs for which they qualify, but they can only apply for one of them.)
