Support a Special Student Program

Support a Special Needs Student Scholarship

Families raising children with special needs face extraordinary financial challenges. Tuition for specialized schools, therapy services, and medically necessary equipment can cost $20,000 to $100,000 per year, while insurance often covers only a fraction of these expenses.

The Support a Special Needs Student Scholarship was created to ensure that cost is not the reason a child is denied access to the education, therapy, and support they need to thrive.

How the Scholarship Works

Each scholarship provides $1,000 per month, or $12,000 per year, in direct financial support for a child with special needs. Funds may be used for:

• Specialized K–12 school tuition

• Speech, occupational, behavioral, or physical therapy

• Assistive or adaptive medical and educational equipment

• Other education-related therapeutic services critical to a child’s progress

Scholarship funds are paid directly to schools, therapists, and service providers, ensuring that 100% of donations support educational and therapeutic care.

Why Your Support Matters

Without financial assistance, many families are forced to delay therapy, forego critical interventions, or withdraw their child from a program that supports learning and independence. Early and consistent intervention dramatically improves long-term outcomes, yet too many families cannot afford these essential services.

Your gift helps remove financial barriers so children with special needs can remain enrolled, supported, and progressing toward their full potential.

Suggested Donation Levels

• $100 — Helps cover one week of therapy

• $500 — Funds half a month of therapy or tuition support

Every contribution, regardless of size, makes a meaningful difference.
