The Autism Scholarship Program (ASP) gives the parents of children with autism who qualify for a scholarship the choice to send the child to a special education program other than the one operated by the school district of residence to receive their education and the services outlined in the child's individualized education program (IEP).

 Any student who has been diagnosed by a physician as having Autism or a student who has been identified by their district as a child with autism and for whom the district has created an individualized education plan (IEP) qualifies for the Autism Scholarship program.

 The student must have a current IEP from the district of residence that is finalized and all parties, including the parent, must be in agreement with the IEP.
 A child is eligible to apply to participate in the program when the child turns three.
