Financial Aid for Disabled Students
Financial aid for students with disabilities is not easy to find. Often families overlook traditional forms of assistance in the hope that they will discover special funding for students with disabilities. While there are many programs designed especially to assist students with their studies, actual funding for education for students with disabilities is relatively difficult to obtain. That being said, there are some areas to research.
First, apply for financial aid. See Applying for Financial Aid for all of the ins and outs.
Second, research private sources of funding. Any unique characteristic a student possesses can generally improve his or her opportunity to obtain funding. See Scholarship Searches for the best FREE scholarship searches available online.
Finally, remember that there are many federal and state initiatives to help Americans with disabilities. A terrific place to start looking is at disAbility.gov.
Seeking a post-secondary education despite physical or mental limitations is to be commended and we at Financial Aid Resource Center are committed to continue to search for and provide resources to help you achieve your dreams. If you should know of any programs that help students with disabilities, please tell us about them so that we may spread the word.
