by disABLEDperson, Inc.
disABLEDperson, Inc. is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to reduce the high unemployment rate among people with disabilities by investing in their higher education. The organisation administers two national scholarship competitions per year—one in the fall semester and one in the spring—specifically targeted at currently enrolled college students with documented disabilities.
Each competition awards $2,000 to a winning essay writer who can demonstrate current college enrolment and provide documentation of a disability. Applications open in mid-August for the fall competition and mid-December for the spring competition through the organisation's website. The site also maintains a curated blog post listing additional disability scholarships from other organisations, making it a useful starting point for students searching for disability-specific financial aid.
disABLEDperson, Inc. scholarships are open to any currently enrolled US college student with a documented disability of any type—physical, sensory, learning, psychiatric, or chronic illness. The programme particularly supports students who face financial barriers to completing their degree.
