The Cooking Autism Board of Directors met on Saturday July 18, 2026, to carefully review more than 100 grant and scholarship applications.

We are incredibly grateful to every individual and organization that took the time to apply. The quality of the applications and the dedication to supporting the autism community were truly inspiring.

After thoughtful consideration, grant and scholarship recipients have been selected. Recipients will receive an official email notification in the coming weeks. If you submitted an application, please monitor your email for additional information regarding your award status.

This year's grants and scholarships will have a meaningful impact, benefiting 1,690 students and supporting 86 professionals, including special education teachers, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, job coaches, and other professionals dedicated to serving individuals with autism.

We extend our sincere congratulations to all of this year's recipients and thank every applicant for the important work you do each day. Your commitment continues to strengthen and enrich the autism community.

If you would like to help us expand these opportunities in the future, please consider making a donation. Your generosity allows Cooking Autism to continue investing in individuals, educators, families, and organizations making a lasting difference.
