Approximately 1 in 59 children are affected by autism, making it the fastest-growing developmental disorder. It is also often associated with other disorders. Autism affects development in the brain, and if diagnosed early on, those affected can have a better quality of life. This is why the attorneys at Varghese Summersett are proud to offer an annual Autism Scholarship to honor a cause near and dear to our hearts. Three members of our legal team have children with disabilities, and in an effort to recognize and honor them, we are offering this scholarship.
This scholarship is intended to assist a deserving autistic child who needs financial aid for educational or recreational opportunities. The award may be used towards a camp, tutoring, education, or other tools to help the student progress and live a fulfilling, happy life.
