At ACEing Autism, we believe every child should have access to our programs, regardless of financial circumstances.

To support as many families as possible, we proudly accept a variety of funding options. We believe every child should have the opportunity to participate in ACEing Autism, regardless of their financial circumstances.

ACEing Autism is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and our scholarship funds are made possible through the generosity of donors and supporters who help us ensure that no child is left behind because of financial circumstances. We are incredibly grateful for this support, which allows us to provide assistance to families who may not have access to other funding resources.

If your family has access to Self-Determination Funding or a similar funding source, we kindly ask that you pursue this option first so our scholarship funds can remain available for families who do not have access to this support.

Please note: Your spot in the program is not confirmed until payment is completed, and we don’t want the administrative process to prevent your child from participating. If a session is coming up, you are welcome to pay by credit card upfront to secure your child’s spot. Once you’ve completed the required information below and have been approved for a scholarship or funding source, we can process a reimbursement and assign a coupon code to your account.

Here are the funding and scholarship options that are currently available:

Self Determination Funding
Many families participate in ACEing Autism programs through Self-Determination Funding (SDF), Scholarship Accounts, or similar programs, which vary by state. We work with a number of providers and are happy to complete provider applications to help families access these funds. If you plan to use SDF or similar funding sources, please email us with your child’s name, the location you wish to join, include your SDF representative, as well as any other information we need to begin the provider enrollment process. Once we receive the information, we will provide you with a coupon code to enroll your child, or, if you have paid upfront to secure your child’s spot, we will process a reimbursement while we wait for the provider to process payment.
Every Kid Sports Scholarship
The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation in partnership with Every Kid Sports has developed a scholarship program to help income restricted families cover youth sports registration fees through the Every Kid Sports Pass. Eligible families can receive up to $150 per child, up to three times per year to help cover the cost of registration fees.

To qualify, children must be ages 4-18, enrolled in Medicaid, SNAP, or WIC, participating in recreation sports (not elite, club or travel teams), and in a sports season that lasts at least 4 weeks. Their application process has rolling admissions — please keep checking or join their newsletter to see when a new application period opens!

ACEing Autism Scholarship

Scholarships are available to anyone in need of financial support. They typically cover the cost of the entire registration fee and are valid for one year, to be used for multiple sessions within that year. After that year, you are welcome to re-apply. Once you submit your application, you will be contacted by our team by email.
