Our mission is to provide financial support for the college educational needs of individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome, Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities, High-Functioning Autism and other Learning Differences, whose families are unable to afford the costs and are not eligible for support from outside means such as government grants. The SEDFund also supports professional development of faculty and staff responsible for the education and services required for those individuals it serves.
Since 2006, The Student Education Development Fund (formerly named The College Internship Program Foundation) provided thousands of dollars of financial aid to students enrolled in the College Internship Program.
With the help of generous donations, the fund has sponsored professional training seminars for faculty in cutting-edge, recent developments that address the educational issues that CIP students confront.
Our Campaign For The Future aims to increase the number of students enrolled in CIP who qualify for assistance based on eligibility criteria that includes financial status, academic progress and other areas of special talent.
Additionally, The SEDFund will develop and implement professional seminars and workshops for faculty and staff of the College Internship Program with the latest educational advances to continue the excellence in programming for students.
The Campaign For The Future hopes to raise $100,000 to meet our goals. Through the generosity of board members, $40,000 has already been contributed as a challenge for others, who believe in the importance of CIP, to match.
We are asking that you make a contribution to support the students and faculty of CIP by completing and mailing the enclosed card. We hope that we can count on you to help us meet this Campaign For The Future.
