  Any individual with an established autism diagnosis and who will be attending an accredited post-secondary institution of higher education in the United States for the upcoming school year is eligible to apply for OAR scholarships. However, students who have already received a bachelor’s degree are not eligible, and the scholarships do not support graduate or postgraduate studies. Eligible individuals need to be accepted for enrollment or enrolled on a full-time basis (minimum 6 credits) or be working toward certification or accreditation in a particular field (e.g., studying to be a paralegal, chef, etc.).
