I'm an autistic student planning for college. Does anyone know of scholarships and grants specifically available for students with autism that I might be eligible for?
There are several scholarships available specifically for students with autism. Here are a few to consider:
1. Kelly Law Team Autism Scholarship: This is a $1,000 scholarship for a student with autism, given out by the Kelly Law Team, a personal injury law firm. The application includes an essay on how the applicant's autism has affected their life.
2. Dan Archwamety Scholarship: This is a scholarship offered through the Autism Society of Nebraska and it is awarded in the amount of $500 each year.
Remember, some scholarships may require an application, essay, or other submission, so be sure to read the rules and requirements carefully. It's also important to start applying as early as possible to ensure you don't miss any deadlines. Lastly, in addition to these targeted scholarships, don't forget to check with the Financial Aid office or Disability Services office at the colleges you are considering, as they might be aware of additional resources. Best of luck in your search!
