The SED Fund's mission is to provide financial support for the college educational needs of individuals with learning differences such as Asperger’s syndrome, nonverbal learning disabilities, ADD, high-functioning autism and dyslexia.

The SEDFund also supports professional training and development of faculty and staff responsible for the education and services required for those individuals it serves.



Since 2006, The Student Education Development Fund has provided thousands of dollars of financial aid to students enrolled in the College Internship Program, a national post-secondary college and career program.

With the help of generous donations, SEDF has sponsored professional training seminars for faculty in cutting-edge, recent developments that address the social, academic, career and life skills supports and the educational issues that students with learning differences confront.

Our Campaign For The Future aims to increase the number of students enrolled in the College Internship Program who qualify for assistance based on eligibility criteria that includes financial status, academic progress and other areas of special talent.

We hope that we can count on you to help us meet this Campaign For The Future.
