In addition to financial support, our scholarship awardees tell us that the scholarship offers recognition, provides confidence, and validates their struggles; emotionally, socially and academically.

Did you know Illinois State Board of Education has a Dyslexia Handbook?
Share with your kids’ teachers, because they may not know about it. It’s great that the state has it, but they haven’t made it mandatory for them to read. It just may help open the door of understanding.
