Keep a child in therapy.
Keep a child in school.

For families of children with special needs, those two goals are not guaranteed.

A four-year-old diagnosed with developmental delays may need speech and occupational therapy several times per week just to build foundational communication and motor skills. Without financial support, those therapy sessions may be reduced or stopped altogether.

A child enrolled in a specialized PreK–12 program may be thriving academically and socially — until tuition becomes unaffordable.

When funding runs out, therapy hours are cut.
When tuition cannot be paid, enrollment ends.
When services pause, progress stalls.

The Support a Special Needs Student Scholarship exists to prevent that disruption.

WHY THIS MATTERS

The early years are critical.

Consistent early intervention strengthens communication, coordination, social development, and long-term independence. Specialized education provides structure, stability, and individualized support that many children cannot receive elsewhere.

Interruptions during these developmental windows can slow growth and create setbacks that are difficult to recover from.

Your support ensures continuity — from early intervention through Pre-K – 12 education.

WHAT YOUR DONATION FUNDS

Each scholarship provides $12,000 per year ($1,000 per month) in direct financial support for a child with special needs.

Funds may be used for:

• Early intervention services
• Specialized PreK–12 school tuition
• Speech, occupational, behavioral, or physical therapy
• Assistive and adaptive medical or educational equipment
• Other education-related therapeutic services essential to progress

All scholarship funds are paid directly to schools, therapists, and service providers to ensure accountability and proper use.

Scholarships are awarded based on available funding. When funds are limited, families remain on a waiting list.

Your gift directly determines how many children receive support.
