Disability Scholarships - Do I Qualify?
Information provided by Disabled World - Published: 2009-11-23
No two disability scholarships are ever quite the same and not every scholarship may apply to you or your current situation.
If, for example, you have a hearing impairment and the scholarship is for blind students, you obviously would not qualify. Therefore be sure you read the scholarship application details and requirements thoroughly before filling out the form(s).
The Learning Disabilities Association is a U.S. national organization committed to providing services, education, and resources for individuals with learning disabilities such as dyslexia and ADHD, among others. Students facing such challenges might benefit from contacting their state’s chapter of the LDA.
Students with disabilities can qualify for a large number of unique scholarship types and Disabled World has assembled a few of the well respected organizations that provide disability scholarships.
In addition you can perform a search on FastWeb.com, which provides a list of scholarships for students with disabilities and other related information for both parents and students.
Note: Financial assistance for students with a physical disability is generally separate from, for example, hearing and learning disability scholarships.
