Elizabeth McCabe is one of just six University of Delaware students awarded a 2013-2014 Autism Delaware scholarship to pursue higher education.

The Villanova, PA native received the Autism Delaware Daniel and Lois Gray Memorial Scholarship, which was created specifically for eligible UD undergraduate and graduate students working toward a professional position in the autism community.

McCabe is majoring in elementary education with a concentration in special education and a minor in disabilities studies. She plans to graduate in 2014 and work toward a master’s degree in education. Her goal is to teach children with autism in an early intervention program. In addition to being an international student volunteer in the Dominican Republic, McCabe has also volunteered as a coach-mentor at UD’s Center for Disabilities Studies, as a tutor at the Early Learning Center and at the Activities for Adapted Movements and Skills Program.
