Disability Organizations

Disability organizations, national, international, regional or local, exist to help people with disabilities. They may focus on housing for disabled seniors, employment for people with disabilities, outreach services for people with disabilities or specific conditions such as multiple sclerosis or fibromyalgia, or programs for specific groups such as disabled American veterans. Their mission may be advocacy, or support, or information on topics such as adaptive sports or assistive technology. But regardless of their differences, the organizations listed here exist for one main reason: to help you.

Higher education is a great way to learn about life, build lasting relationships, and enrich your career options – but it can also be expensive! Ease that burden with these scholarships for students with disabilities, including students with learning disabilities.
