Benefits of Project ASD!

Project ASD scholars receive funding through the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs. Financial assistance available to Project ASD participants includes: Tuition and fees for up to 36 credit hours (in-state resident rate) for approved courses. Scholars are eligible to receive a scholarship up to $250 per course, as well as support to attend state and national conferences. 

*Please note there is a service obligation of two years for every year of funding after graduation. To satisfy this you must be working with students with an IEP. More information can be found at: https://pdp.ed.gov/OSEP/Home/faq2006

Accenting Diversity

Project ASD has developed procedures that have been specifically designed to promote and foster the recruitment, participation, membership, and preparation of students from underrepresented populations including persons from culturally and linguistically diverse groups. Emphasis is also placed on accommodating the special needs of students with disabilities. Efforts will be focused on facilitating students’ full participation in the project.

Mentor Demonstration 

Project ASD serves to provide enhanced support to beginning special education teachers and speech-language practitioners of students with ASD through a mentorship program and demonstration sites for field experience and supervised practice.
