The Support a Special Needs Student Scholarship for Summer 2026
Keep a Child in Therapy. Keep a Child Progressing.
Every year, families are forced to reduce or stop therapy services due to cost—especially during the summer months when support is limited.
For children with special needs, even short interruptions in therapy can lead to regression in communication, behavior, and academic progress.
The Support a Special Needs Student Summer Scholarship was created to prevent that from happening.
Through our Scholarship, Education Aid provides financial assistance for families whose children require therapy services and specialized educational support. Education Aid is currently working to raise funding to support a full year of services, or as many summer scholarships as possible based on available funds.

About Education Aid's Support a Special Student Scholarship
The Support a Special Student Scholarship is a vital part of Education Aid’s mission. It provides direct financial support to students with special learning needs, including access to early intervention therapies and specialized Pre-K–12 educational environments designed to support their development. These scholarships help families offset the high cost of specialized tuition, therapeutic services, adaptive learning resources, and individualized academic supports. Each scholarship helps remove financial barriers so students can access critical early and ongoing services that strengthen learning, communication, independence, and long-term success. Sponsors can choose to fund a single student or contribute to the general scholarship pool, creating immediate and lasting impact in the lives of students and families who depend on specialized education and therapy support.
