Financial Aid for Students With Disabilities

Author(s): Gardner, Daniel
Corporate Author: American Council on Education, Washington, DC.

Title: Financial Aid for Individuals with Learning Disabilities. Fast
Facts.  Source: 2000. 5p.

Abstract:
This fact sheet provides information on financial aid for prospective college students with learning disabilities. Once students with learning disabilities gain admission to the college of their choice, they are not likely to find any scholarships on the basis of having a learning disability to help pay for college. Students with learning disabilities should focus their efforts where they are most likely to produce results.
