Every autistic individual deserves access to opportunities that empower them to thrive, regardless of financial barriers.

At AuSM, we’re committed to accessibility. We know that many people in our community need services and cannot afford them, which makes financial accessibility just as important as all the other steps we take to make our programs and services welcoming. Scholarships are a vital lifeline, helping autistic individuals and their families access life-changing services, from camps to workshops to community events.

Every year, AuSM receives significantly more requests for scholarships than we are able to provide. Help us close the gap!

Why Your Support Matters:

The AuSM Scholarship Fund helps ensure financial accessibility for:

Specialized Summer Camps for autistic youth and adults.
Educational Classes for individuals, families, and professionals.
Workshops, Conferences, and Community Events that build connections and provide critical resources.
Memberships

In recent years, the need for scholarships has skyrocketed, far outpacing available funds. With your help, we can meet this growing demand and ensure everyone in our community has access to the support they deserve.

Ian’s Story: Growth and Joy at AuSM Summer Camp

For Ian, AuSM’s Summer Camp was more than just a vacation—it was a transformative experience. Thanks to a scholarship, Ian had the opportunity to attend a camp tailored to his needs, where he received personalized attention and care.

At camp, Ian made new friends, discovered new activities, and enjoyed a supportive environment that helped him grow. His mother shares:

"Thank you very much for organizing the scholarship for my child. It was very useful and timely. He received maximum attention and care. He found new friends and still remembers with pleasure this wonderful vacation. Thanks to this, his development became a little better. It was a good, unforgettable experience."

Ian’s story is a reminder of the vital role these scholarships play in creating life-changing opportunities for children on the spectrum. Your generosity makes experiences like Ian’s possible, helping children build friendships, develop skills, and create memories that last a lifetime.
