Elizabeth McCabe is one of just four University of Delaware students awarded a 2014 Autism Delaware scholarship.

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 spectrum disorder (ASD) community.

McCabe is studying elementary education with a concentration in special education and a minor in disabilities studies in a bachelor's degree program, and also is working toward a master's degree in education, ASD and severe disabilities. Her goal is to teach children with ASD in an early intervention program. In addition to being an international student volunteer in the Dominican Republic, McCabe has volunteered as a coach-mentor at the University of Delaware's Center for Disabilities Studies, a tutor at Newark's Early Learning Center, and at the Activities for Adapted Movements and Skills program.
