Scholarships & Support

Our primary focus is Level 1 autistic adults after high school, ages 18–24.

We recognize that every autistic individual and family has different needs. We will not turn people away simply because they fall outside this focus. When we cannot directly meet a need, we will do our best to connect you with resources and organizations that may be able to help.
