n 2007, OAR introduced the Schwallie Family Scholarship to support the post-secondary, undergraduate education of qualified individuals with an autism spectrum diagnosis. Schwallie Family Scholarships are supported through generous gifts from the family of the late Ed Schwallie, one of OAR’s founders and its only Board member Emeritus.
In 2013, we added the Lisa Higgins Hussman Scholarship, the first expansion of the OAR Scholarship Program, to further benefit students attending two-year degree programs, as well as any of the growing number of certificate and life skills/transition programs in the U.S. Board member and Scholarship Committee chairwoman, Lisa Hussman, championed the initiative, which is supported annually through gifts from the Lisa Higgins Hussman Foundation.
The Synchrony Scholarship for Autistic Students of Color, the newest scholarship, began in December 2021, with the opening of the 2022 Scholarship application period. It was established through a partnership with Synchrony’s Disabilities Diversity Network as part of their national “Education as an Equalizer” initiative.
As of today, the OAR Scholarship Program has awarded a total of $1,331,000 to 440 highly deserving students.
