Empowering Futures Through Scholarships.

Project iAm’s main goal is to provide scholarship opportunities to children on the autism spectrum within our Toledo-area families. As funds become available, we strive to assist families—no matter how big or small the amount may be. If your child could benefit, please feel free to fill out our scholarship application for our committee to review. Together, we hope to help more children access the treatment and support they need to thrive.

Determining Scholarship Eligibility.

Project iAm is committed to supporting local families regardless of treatment choice, economic status, or background. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, or any other preferences. Because our funding comes from our local community, our goal is to redistribute resources within it as much as possible.
When reviewing applications, our scholarship committee considers a variety of factors, including:

• Your child’s story and your family’s journey with autism
• Financial need
• Volunteer work and time contributed to Project iAm
• Proximity to the Toledo area
• Types and places of treatment (we aim to fund all types of therapy, and balance the number of applicants from each provider or therapy type)

Volunteers of Project iAm receive preferential consideration, as we are a 100% volunteer-based organization. Interested in volunteering? Email info@acousticsforautism.com.
