There are scholarships for disabled students but you have to look around. Many private places are starting up programs to build up their image but the scholarship stipend is not very high for many of them - $500 - $1500. They may offer 1-3 of them. It will still pay part of your college tuition though which is the main thing. You can call just about any higher profile company and they most likely will have some type of disability scholarship. It's all good even if the scholarship is for $50.00. It's the thought that counts as far as I'm concerned.
