Scholarships may be used to help cover a range of needs for individuals with developmental disabilities, especially when insurance does not fully cover the cost.
 

Support may include:

• Therapies

• Sensory or adaptive equipment

• Swimming lessons

• Supplements

• Other approved programs or services that support long-term growth and wellbeing
   

Each scholarship is intended to help fill the gap and provide meaningful support for individuals and their families.

Anchor of Hope scholarships are available to individuals who meet the following criteria:
 

• Must be a resident of Georgia

• Must have a developmental disability diagnosed by a licensed physician

• For equipment, must have a letter of recommendation from a medical professional
   

At Anchor of Hope, we define a developmental disability as a condition that begins in childhood and requires ongoing, substantial support throughout a person’s life.

This distinction is important—our scholarships are intended to support individuals with lifelong needs, rather than short-term developmental delays.

Scholarships are awarded based on eligibility

Award amounts are up to $250
 

• All payments are submitted directly to the service provider

• For equipment, if you are requesting an item that costs more than $250, please submit proof of purchase in order to be reimbursed. If the item costs less than $250, we will purchase it and ship it directly to you.

• Families may apply during open application periods
   

Applications and timelines will be shared when available. Please view our Scholarship Policies before filling out the application, as you will be required to certify that the policy has been reviewed.

Access to care, programs, and support services can be life-changing, but often comes with financial barriers. 

Anchor of Hope scholarships help bridge that gap, allowing individuals to participate in opportunities that support their development, independence, and overall quality of life.
