Lighthouse Scholarship
Supporting Our Communities
With a mission of bringing quality, center-based ABA therapy to communities that need it, Lighthouse Autism Center seeks not only to assist autistic children but all families in the communities where we operate. Lighthouse does this by providing community resources for autism to families, as well as sponsoring community events and partnering with area advocates and providers. We are passionate about our Lighthouse Center Community, and we seek to continue that work by offering the Lighthouse Autism Center Scholarship for Autism Awareness. This is a $1,000 scholarship to be used for tuition, fees, and textbooks, provided through the Lighthouse Scholarship Fund.
