As
a disabled or challenged student you may have a lot of special concerns about
life after high school. Should you pursue a higher education? What will my life
style be like? What will be different?
There are programs out there that provide resources and information to students with disabilities. Disabled students programs serve eligible students with disabilities of all kinds, including mobility, visual, or hearing impairments; speech impairments; chronic illnesses such as AIDS, diabetes, and lupus; seizure disorders; head injuries; impairments such as back injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome; psychological disabilities such as bipolar disorder and severe anxiety or depression; attention deficit disorder; and learning disabilities. These organizations firmly believe that all students, regardless of whether they have a disability should have equal access to educational and career opportunities. They believe, as we do, that students with disabilities can overcome their disability and participate in most aspects of normal life.
Financial Aid There are many scholarships and fellowships available strictly for students with disabilities. Be sure to browse the rest of the site also, since some of the more general listings and scholarship databases may contain information relevant to students with disabilities. Contact the HEATH Resource Center's Financial Aid for Students with Disabilities for information on financial aid for students with disabilities.
