Scholarships Scholarships for for Students Students with with Disabilities Disabilities

The list below provides information about scholarship opportunities for students with disabilities. While this list is not all-encompassing, we hope it provides students with a starting point for seeking disability-related scholarships. Students are also encouraged to explore funding options through state-funded vocational rehabilitation offices (in Pennsylvania, students can contact the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation).

Remember all students should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be considered for need-based grants, loans and student employment. The FAFSA is available online at www.fafsa.gov and can also be obtained from the US Department of Education at 1-800-4FED-AID or TTY: 1-800-730-8913.
