To help serve this mission, we are excited to announce that we have developed several new scholarships that students with disabilities can apply for until May 1st.

• Study.com Scholarship for Students with Disabilities

If you are interested in sharing additional scholarship opportunities with your audience, you can view all of the Study.com scholarship opportunities for 2022 on our Scholarship hub. The team has also developed a comprehensive College & Career Guide for Students with Disabilities that outlines more scholarship opportunities and helpful information.

We’d like to get these resource to as many students as possible before our May 1st deadline. To do that, we’d like to ask you to share these resource with your community by linking to them on your Government Agencies & Programs page.
