Helping Brothers & Sisters

We are here for every brother and sister in our Down syndrome community. From diagnosis through adulthood, our services and programming forge lasting bonds and offer rewarding experiences for siblings of people with Down syndrome. No matter who you are, we know you can become the best version of yourself.

Financial Assistance

Post-Secondary Scholarship Program

Since 2004, more than $200,000 has been awarded through DSACO’s Post-Secondary Scholarship Program. Its mission is to assist siblings, parents, cousins, and other relatives of individuals with Down syndrome who are planning to pursue careers in which they will positively impact the lives of people with Down syndrome. People with Down syndrome who are enrolled in a college program are also eligible (and strongly encouraged) to apply.
