Unfortunately, students with disabilities have been unable to find a complete & updated list of scholarships they’re eligible for.
So, we decided to change that.
After tens of hours of research, we've managed to put together a
list for the 2014-2015 academic school year. We will continue to update
this list with new scholarships, deadlines, as well as taking down any
that are no longer being offered.Note: if a deadline is labeled as "outdated", it means that at the last time these organizations' pages were checked, they hadn't provided information for next year's scholarship yet.
