Awards For Students With Disabilities
We have assembled a list of resources that may be helpful in providing support and opportunities for students with disabilities. This list is not meant to be comprehensive nor is it a substitute for using the CDC services; rather it is a resource to supplement your research efforts regarding career exploration and planning.
Students are also encouraged to consult an excellent resource entitled "Financial Aid for the Disabled and their Families", by Gail Ann Schlachter and R. David Weber, available in the CDC Library.
Here are but a few other awards for your consideration:
