The Canyon Rice Hope Scholarship was established in 2010 by the parents of Canyon Rice. Canyon is a very energetic 5-year-old who, at the age of 3, was diagnosed with Autism. The main focus of the scholarship is to provide children with disabilities (and their families) with services they might otherwise be unable to afford, respite care being the first priority.
Raising a child with special needs is both challenging and rewarding. None of us can do it alone. The Canyon Rice Hope Scholarship is intended to assist families by providing caregiver support. Parents and caregivers need time to relax, to recharge. Our hope is to offer additional services in the future through scholarship awards.
