Launched in 2024, the Dyslexia Road Scholarship Program provides critical reading intervention services to children with dyslexia—regardless of their family's financial situation. At Dyslexia Road, we believe no child should be held back from learning to read simply because their family can’t afford the support they need. That’s why we offer need-based scholarships that help cover the high cost of specialized tutoring, which can average over $20,000 per child.

Our mission is simple: eliminate financial barriers and open the door to literacy for every child.
