Can children of disabled parents get scholarships for college?

Question

I am disabled (multiple sclerosis) and make very little money. My husband is a social worker and makes crap money, too. We have a brilliant little son and would love to see him attend a good university, but it just seems so out of reach! Do they have special scholarships for the children of disabled parents?

Answer 1

There are scholarships for many different reasons out there including wearing duct tape to the prom. However, there are thousands of scholarships out there and places to locate financial aid for college. All sources are free.

First, fill out the FAFSA form as soon as the income taxes are filed. It will provide need based financial assistance based on the family income and resources. It will bring need based financial aid from the state and federal governments along with the college itself.

Second, college financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies.

Third, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships current students can apply for consideration.

Fourth, the public library has a book listing scholarships. Some are not listed on the web.

Finally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search.

Good luck!

He probably needs to qualify like every one else..if he keeps his grades up and participates in extra curricular activities there should be no problem..check with the school counselor about what is available..
