Scholarships

We believe every person with dyslexia should have the opportunity to receive therapy specifically developed for them and the way their mind works. IDA Dallas offers financial need-based scholarships for students with dyslexia to be used towards Educational/Academic Therapy. Scholarship applications are reviewed twice a year, with deadlines of April 30 and October 31. Scholarships are paid in lump-sum directly to approved therapists upon receipt of documentation of completed sessions.

We want all students to have the opportunity to reach their maximum potential and to help provide the tools needed to make that happen. For your application to be considered complete and reviewed by the scholarship committee, the following documents are required.
