How to Apply JPSN Resources The Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship Program (JPSN) provides scholarships to students who are eligible from age three (3) through twenty-one (21) and have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) from their public school district.
The award amount of each scholarship will be based on the primary disability condition identified in the student's Evaluation Team Report (ETR). Students must be enrolled in the scholarship program for the entire program year to receive the full scholarship amount.
A student who has been identified as a child with a disability and for whom the public school district has created an individualized education program (IEP) qualifies for the JPSN scholarship program.
When the student has been identified by their public school district as a child with a disability, the child's evaluation team report (ETR) from the public school district states that the child requires special education and/or related services under the Individual with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA).
The student must also have a current IEP from the public school district of residence that is finalized and all parties, including the parent or guardian, must be in agreement with the IEP. A child is eligible to apply to participate in the program when the child is age three (3) through twenty-one (21), and if the child meets all other program eligibility requirements.
The parent or guardian of eligible students must first enroll with a participating Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship Provider. If they are enrolling with a business provider the parent will be responsible for Home Educating their child. The amount of each scholarship will be based on the disability condition identified on the student’s ETR.
The scholarship provider will have the required application forms available and will assist the parent or guardian in the scholarship application process. Developmental Delay Guidance Last Modified: 10/29/2025 2:06:08 PM

NSF's Faculty Early Career Development Program — the CAREER award — has a July 22, 2026 deadline, a $400,000 floor, a five-year runway, and roughly 500 awards a year across every directorate. It is the most prestigious grant a pre-tenure scientist can win, and the one most often lost on the integration requirement rather than the research. Here is what the award actually funds, who is eligible, and how to build a proposal that treats research and education as one program instead of two.
