Autism MVP Dwight Macock Memorial Endowed Scholarship for Rutgers University

Friends of Autism MVP,

We are proud to announce the establishment of the Autism MVP Dwight Macock Memorial Endowed Scholarship at Rutgers University!

This $100,000 gift is the largest in our history and we are counting on our supporters and friends of Rutgers University to support this groundbreaking scholarship program. The fund will support graduate students at the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center, an ABA program in the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP) on the Rutgers University-New Brunswick campus. You can read more about the announcement here.

The scholarship will prioritize students who are passionate about working with children who exhibit complex or challenging behaviors in classroom settings, and reinforces our unique mission to expand the pipeline of highly trained professionals to support individuals with autism.

In 2024, our inaugural Pickleball Social was launched and that event raised $17,000 toward this new scholarship. Through that annual event and other events and initiatives, we are excited about reaching our $100,000 goal as quickly as possible! You can support this scholarship program by making a contribution or participating in our Second Annual Pickleball Social on June 26 at Pickleball HQ. 

Thank you!
