About This Program

The Organization for Autism Research's postsecondary scholarship for autistic students, providing a one-time $3,000 award to students attending a two- or four-year college at undergraduate level on the path to a four-year degree. Applications require three short essay responses, the date of the applicant's autism diagnosis and proof of school enrolment; a letter of recommendation from a non-relative is strongly encouraged but not required. OAR runs the award as part of a wider postsecondary scholarship programme that has funded dozens of autistic college students a year, and is one of the few national awards written specifically around an autism diagnosis rather than disability in general.
