Tohum Autism Foundation Scholarship Program

Globally 1 in 31 children is at risk of being born with autism. In Türkiye, over 2 million people are estimated to have autism, 700,000 of which are of school age, between 0-18 years old. Unfortunately, only 44,000 currently have access to education. To address this disparity, we are raising funds to provide scholarships for children with autism whose families cannot afford the cost of their education. At the Tohum Autism Foundation's Support Education Unit, children with autism receive the specialized education they need—the only effective intervention for their development. We launched this initiative to ensure that more children from low-income families can benefit from these vital educational opportunities. Through our campaign, we aim to increase the number of scholarship recipients, allowing more children with autism to receive the education they deserve. Through the project, we aim to provide one child in our Support Unit Education Program with 8 sessions of 45 minutes each. Our goal is to provide a one-year special education scholarship and educational materials for 10 children with autism enrolled in the Support Education Unit.

Currently, 219 students are waiting for scholarships, and we urgently need additional support to offer them the education they deserve.
