2026 Scholarship Recipient: Zachary (Zach) M

Zachary (Zach) M is from Washington, and is currently finishing his sophomore year at Central Washington University, where he majors in Special Education. During school breaks and summer vacation, Zach works as a special education paraeducator at his former high school. He is also deeply involved in inclusive athletics and events, helping organize programs such as Day of Champions, a special needs track event, a special needs prom, and unified track athletics. Zach also plays college football. One unique fact about him is that he is one of only two people in the world with his specific eye condition. This experience has strengthened his commitment to advocating for individuals with disabilities. Zach looks forward to networking with other young adults at the ACB Conference and Convention and learning from the broader community.
