USAAA Autism Sibling Scholarship Award Program

USAAA is known for its Sibling Panel Discussion© conducted at the annual USAAA conference. USAAA wants to recognize siblings that share their unique insight as to the many obstacles they face each day, but also to express our admiration to them for their sibling relationships that contribute to the well-being of the entire family."

The USAAA Autism Sibling Scholarship Award Program recognizes siblings for their unique contributions to individuals with autism or Asperger’s Syndrome and encourages further contribution to those affected by autism. Scholarships are given to siblings of individuals with autism who demonstrate excellence in assisting their brother or sister and who will use the scholarships for a beneficial purpose that supports the autism community. There are three scholarships awarded each year. Each winner will receive a $500 scholarship for a project to be used to support autism. 

Each scholarship winner will be invited to be a guest on the Sibling Panel Discussion© at the 2008 annual conference. Click on the application for further details.
