Varghese Summersett Autism Scholarship

Scholarship Overview: Scholarship for students with autism

Deadline Date: April 1, 2025

Scholarship Details:

This scholarship is intended to assist a deserving autistic child who needs financial aid for educational or recreational opportunities. The award may be used towards a camp, tutoring, education, or other tools to help the student progress and live a fulfilling, happy life.

Eligibility Requirements:

  1. Applicant must be diagnosed with autism.
  2. Resident of the United States

Application Requirements:

  1. Letter or Video Describing Financial Need: Have a parent, friend, relative, or teacher write a letter or record a video describing how the financial award would benefit them. We are specifically looking for what the award will be used for. We know the overall needs are far greater than the award, so the more specific you can be about how this would benefit the child, the more helpful this item will be.
  2. Recommendation Letter or Video: Get one letter (or video) of recommendation. The letter can be from a teacher, employer, friend, sibling, or community leader. They should attest to the applicant’s character, ability, and need for financial aid for educational or recreational opportunities. For example, a grandmother could write a letter on behalf of her autistic granddaughter, who could benefit from an iPad or a summer camp. Any videos are judged on the content, not production quality. Videos may not exceed 5 minutes.
  3. Photo: Applicants must submit a photo of the student and agree to allow Varghese Summersett to use his or her name, photo, video, letter, and/or story on our website.

Application Requirements: Letter(s) of Recommendation, Video

Award Amount: $500
