scholarships for disabled?
Favorite Answer
There are so many grant and scholorship programs available it’s hard to find the right ones unless you’ve been through this already and a counselor will likely have this experience.
I have done a search for scholorships for disabilities and have come up with many options, but like many scholorships they have guidlines that only you can know fure sure if you meet. For instance there is this one
http://www.ela.org/scholarships/scholarships_process.html
it stipulates that
(1) The student must be a woman with a physical disability.
(2) The student must be currently accepted to a graduate program working towards a Masters degree or above in an accredited college or university in the United States.
I put this as an example just to show, that I could list dozens of scholorships, but it would be a waste of your time if you read through the entire thing just to see you are disqualified by one stipulation.
so to save myself loads of cutting and pasting, I would simply suggest you either contact the school you wish to attend or visit a few sites I found that help you to narrow down your search for scholorships/grants. I am putting these up with a cautionary reluctance. I simply don’t want to misguide or overwhelm. But here’s what I’ve found.
