The impact of scholarships is quite wide, but neurodiverse students are under represented. Most scholarships are based on achievement of good grades in classes designed for the neurotypical student.

With neurodiverse students receiving a disproportionate rate of scholarships, many amazing people miss an opportunity to further their education and achieve their goals. As some of the most innovative, hard working, creative, quick thinking and empathic people in society, neurodiverse students deserve an equal chance at furthering their education.

To increase equity the Strength in Neurodiversity Scholarship will support all high school seniors diagnosed with or with an IEP documenting ADHD, ASD and/or any documented learning disability. 

To apply, please describe your historical experience as a neurodiverse student and how you will leverage your unique neurodiverse strengths, skills and perspectives to succeed in college and/or your proposed career.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Educational level: High school senior

• Need to have a diagnosed or suspected with a learning disability.
