ASAH ANNUALLY AWARDS THE CONNECTIONS FOR SUCCESS SCHOLARSHIPS. THE GOAL OF THE CONNECTIONS FOR SUCCESS SCHOLARSHIP IS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND RECOGNITION OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES GRADUATING FROM AN ASAH MEMBER SCHOOL AS THEY PURSUE POST-SECONDARY TRAINING, EDUCATION, OR OTHER OPPORTUNITIES. THE SCHOLARSHIP CRITERIA ENCOURAGE CONTINUING EDUCATION AND TRAINING, INCREASED INDEPENDENCE AND GOAL SETTING, AND PROMOTE COMMUNITY INTEGRATION AND THE USE OF LOCAL RESOURCES AND SUPPORTS. THE AWARDING OF THESE SCHOLARSHIP PROVIDES DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO YOUTH WITH DISABILITIES SO THAT THEY MAY PURSUE POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION, TRAINING,OR OTHER CAREER OR LIFE-ENHANCING OPPORTUNITIES; ENCOURAGES STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO IDENTIFY LOCAL, COMMUNITY-BASED SUPPORTS TO HELP FOSTER THE SUCCESS OF THE STUDENT BEYOND GRADUATION; ASSIST STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES LEAVING ASAH SCHOOLS TO BE ABLE TO PURSUE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE SETTING; AND ENCOURAGES GOAL SETTING AND PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.
