Who’s Eligible

Spectrum Scholars is a college-to-career autism initiative for matriculated students at the University of Delaware. To be eligible to apply for comprehensive services, students must meet the following criteria:

Requirements

  • Be offered admission to UD as matriculated students in a BA or BS program.
  • Have a clinical diagnosis or educational classification of an autism spectrum condition (e.g., ASD, PDD-NOS, Asperger Syndrome).
  • Be interested in receiving supports and services offered by Spectrum Scholars.
  • NOTE: Students from all majors are welcome to apply, although priority is reserved for certain majors, including Computer Science and Electrical & Computer Engineering.

Spectrum Scholars also offers group-based workshops, supports, and limited drop-in coaching for UD autistic/neurodivergent students not receiving comprehensive support. No formal diagnosis or application is required.

We keep students informed of upcoming opportunities as they arise.
