SPARK360 Preview Days on April 21 & July 15!
Do you have students interested in the Spark360 Program at the University of Oklahoma? Don’t let them miss our SPARK360 Preview Days this Spring and Summer! Choosing a college is about more than academics—it’s about finding the right fit. SPARK360 Preview Day invites prospective students and families to explore how the University of Oklahoma creates a supportive, inclusive environment where autistic students can grow academically, socially, and personally. Guests will learn about the university experience at OU and gain an in-depth understanding of SPARK360’s individualized, research-informed approach to supporting degree-seeking autistic students. Participants will leave with a clearer picture of campus life, available supports, and how intentional coaching, community-building, and executive functioning support can enhance postsecondary success. Whether you are planning your own transition to college or supporting students in that journey, SPARK360 Preview Day offers valuable insight into what makes OU—and SPARK360 — a place where autistic students can thrive. Encourage your interested students to register using the linked dates below. Space is limited. Parents, guardians, and supporters are encouraged to attend.
April 21: SPARK360 Spring Preview Day

Tunnels to Towers Foundation announced the creation of the Mae and George Siller Scholarship Program. This new program will provide full tuition scholarships for undergraduate degree programs and accredited trade schools for the children in our Gold Star Family Home Program, Fallen First Responder Home Program, and Smart Home Program. Named in honor of Frank Siller’s parents, Mae and George Siller, the scholarship program reflects our continued commitment to the families of America’s heroes. These children have already sacrificed more than most—losing a parent who ran toward danger so others could live. Through this program, we are ensuring they have the opportunity to pursue higher education without the burden of tuition costs. For 25 years, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has worked to honor the legacy of FDNY Firefighter Stephen Siller by supporting our nation’s military and first responders. To date, the Foundation has delivered over 1,700 mortgage-free homes and committed more than $1 billion across our programs. The creation of the Mae and George Siller Scholarship Program represents the next step in caring for these families—providing not only homes and stability today, but opportunity for generations to come. If you would like to learn more about the program, please visit:  https://t2t.org/mae-and-george-siller-scholarship-program/
