Worldwide Outreach Sponsorship Program
As our mission mandates, we are not just giving "lip service" to changing the world for the better. We realize exchange rates and global economies of scale are
at play in international areas and want to ensure that people everywhere have the opportunity to attend the "World Autism Summit 2024". For this reason, we are offering a limited number of partial scholarships for individuals
in some geographic areas, based on these factors. Feel free to apply if you think this applies to you.
