Yes, there is scholarship money out there for anything including siblings of disabled persons. In fact, if your parents have deductions for the medical costs of raising your sibling, it most likely does help with the financial aid. I will provide some free resources for locating money for college.
First, fill out the FAFSA form which will tap into need based financial aid from the state and federal governments along with the college itself. It provides scholarships, student loans, and grants. This is to be completed each year after January 1 for the fall semester and will cover the entire school year.
Second, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.
Third, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.
Fourth, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships for current high school students. Also, there is a chance that they will probably have a list of state scholarships and grants out there.
Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.
Good luck!

Probably is.
I have looked at the Federal Catalogue of Domestic Assistance - and they have funds for about everything you can imagine. Still it is very difficult to read thru it (about a 3 inch notebook - and that is all summaryinformation).
Suggest you go to one or more of these and search:
www.fastweb.com
www.scholarships.com (I think, the best.)
www.collegeboard.com
www.fastaid.com
www.wiredscholar.com

i think yes as long as he/she has passed the exam for the scholarship being offered.
