In 2023 there were no scholarships our grad could win (bummer) so we decided to make one for the next class of grads with developmental and cognitive diff-abilities. The results have been magical!
2025 Winners:
Congratulations Ashley, Cortez, Haylee and Noah! Go get your dreams!
2024 Winners:
Hooray for Elijah, Robert and Mikayla! We’re so proud of you!
The Worthy Turtle Best Effort Scholarship
The Worthy Turtle Best Effort Scholarship was created in 2024 for high school seniors with developmental and cognitive diff-abilities.
This year four graduates of Michigan-based programs for students with cognitive impairments were selected by their teachers to each receive $500 based on these criteria:
1) Outstanding effort in their program
2) Exceptional kindness to all
3) Excellent contribution in their community
Let’s go Class of 2025!
This award is made possible in part thanks to 501c3 non-profit Where There’s A Will.
