Who Can Apply:
- Joieful Connections believes that children of all abilities should have the opportunity to attend college or other forms of higher education.
- Unfortunately, college is often not accessible to students with disabilities. With disabled students making up 14% of public school students, with a total of around 7 million, it’s critical that this group has more support, so they’re able to pursue their dreams of higher education.
- This scholarship seeks to support students with a diagnosis of developmental or intellectual disabilities so they can pursue higher education.
- Any high school senior who has a diagnosis of developmental or intellectual disability may apply for this scholarship, but students in Oregon will be preferred.
Submission:
- Tell us about any experiences, challenges, or accomplishments that have helped you prepare for this journey toward higher education.
- Please tell us specifically what subject or area you plan to study in school and explain why this field is important to you.
- How do you hope to make an impact in your community or in the field you plan to study?
