Beyond Words Foundation for Autism - Summer 2020 Scholarship Application
Please complete this application in its entirety. Before your application can be officially accepted and and considered for a scholarship, you will need to email or standard mail a copy of your child's current IEP. The provider that you are requesting services from will need to complete their portion of the application and submit directly to BWF. All documents need to be received before April 15, 2020 to be accepted for our 2020 Summer Scholarships.
Reminders:
(1) We do not provide 100% scholarships. We value the family's monetary commitment to the service. Applications requesting the minimum needed scholarship amount being 100% of the total tuition, will automatically be denied.
(2) We consider scholarships to services that are recreational in nature, not services that are academic or included on the student's IEP. Please consult the website for an idea of services that are and are not considered.
(3) Scholarship award letters will be mailed May 15th.
(4) It is not guaranteed that a complete application will receive a scholarship.
(5) Incomplete applications will automatically denied.
(6) We appreciate an application in which the person applying has taken the time to describe to the Board of Directors why they need a scholarship for their child. This is not a decision based solely on financial need.
(7) Scholarship money will be distributed only after the service has been provided. Therefore if the service/organization requires payment before the service is provided, it is the parent/caregiver's responsibility to work these registration details our with the organization. Our scholarships will be applied to services that are provided between June 1-August 31, 2020 ONLY. The awarded scholarship can only be used for the service applied for and is non-transferrable to another service without approval from the Board of Directors (requiring prior written notice).
