NAVIGATING COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS AND

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH A DISABILITY


One key to getting financial assistance is starting early.

According to MDA’s College Planning Timeline, 10th grade is a good time to start making a college budget plan.

While researching schools, reach out to their disability or accessibility officers to ask about scholarships and financial aid options for students with disabilities.

College scholarship applications are generally due in the fall or spring of a student’s 12th-grade year.

The deadline for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a program everyone should apply for, is usually June 30 in the year you are applying for.

State deadlines may vary.
