Autism Scholarship Program

We will be offering $1,000 scholarships to New Jersey high school seniors with Autism who plan to further their education. Academic achievement and participation in activities will be considered. The extent of a student’s disability(s) will be taken into account as well, so that s/he need not be near the top of her/his class to qualify.
