At The Arc Fayette, we believe that when a community comes together, real change happens. That’s why we’re launching Together, We Empower, a campaign to support the Merlin Arc Fayette Scholarship.

Through your generosity, whether by donating directly or participating in our online auction, you’ll be investing in future professionals dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This scholarship will provide a $2,000 financial assistance to students pursuing careers in fields that serve individuals with IDD, including special education, therapy, nursing, social work and more.

Why It Matters:

By investing in the next generation of professionals in the IDD field, we’re investing in a future where care is more compassionate, inclusion is more widespread, and advocacy is stronger than ever.
