Autism Scholarship Program: Information For Parents

If you are interested in the Autism Scholarship Program, the first step is to find a participating provider that can meet your child’s educational needs.

Once the provider accepts the student for enrollment, the parent can obtain the scholarship application form from their provider.  The provider will submit the application on behalf of the parent via our secure online system.

If multiple providers are selected, only one is able to submit the initial application. Additional providers will be able to access the application after a scholarship has been awarded.
