STRIDES is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities in their pursuit of postsecondary education. Through scholarships and awareness, we hope to open doors to educational opportunities that have been previously unattainable. STRIDES will work tirelessly to improve access to educational programs for individuals with disabilities and encourage a more welcoming environment for students with IDD across all college campuses.
We currently support students attending programs throughout the state of Texas, including the PATHS Certificate, Aggie ACHIEVE, UNT Elevar, Bobcat RISE, Transition University, and E4 Texas programs. While these programs are fantastic for students, the financial burden of a postsecondary education is often too much for families to bear. Our goal is to alleviate this problem by providing students with disabilities the resources that they need to attain their dreams.
Our Recipients
Since our founding in 2019, STRIDES has awarded 37 scholarships (a total of $150,000) to students attending programs throughout Texas.
