Who Can Apply:

Uplifting students with disabilities is critical in order to level the playing field of higher education.
- This scholarship aims to support students who have been affected by a disability so they have the encouragement they need to persevere and achieve their dreams.
- Any undergraduate or graduate student who has at least a 3.0 GPA and a disability may apply for this scholarship, but applicants with sickle cell disease are preferred.
