		Bambi Riehl \| 6/22/12 @ 11:51 AM A few ideas from pepnet 2: http://www.hearingexchange.com/blogs/?cat=995 http://www.disaboom.com/scholarships/deaf-hearing-loss-hearing-impaired-scholarships http://deafness.about.com/od/collegesandcollegelife/a/collegeaid.htm You could also take a look at our online transition module called iTransition. This is an excellent tool in helping students learn about the transition to postsecondary. You can access that by going to www.pepnet.org/iTransition. Also have the student try a Google search for other scholarships. This sometimes will bring up some great results. Top Sign in or register to post comments

		Bambi Riehl \| 6/22/12 @ 11:52 AM and a few more: Some financial assistance may be available (if certain criteria is met) from your state VR/DORS (vocational rehabilitation/rehabilitation services). Each state has a VR/DORS office. For a list, see http://nichcy.org/state-organization-search-by-state Sometimes students are eligible for financial assistance in the form of SSI (Social Security Income). http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10026.html If the student is not 18, his family can apply for benefits for him. If he is 18, he can apply for adult benefits on his own. National Association of the Deaf—William C. Stokoe Scholarship The scholarship awards $2000 to deaf students who have graduated from a four-year college program and are pursuing part- or full-time graduate studies in a field related to sign language or the deaf community or who are developing a special project on one of these topics. Applications are available online or by sending a self-addressed, stamped #10 envelope to the address below. Deadline for submitting an application is March 15. For more information contact: Stokoe Scholarship Secretary National Association of the Deaf 814 Thayer Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20910-4500 Phone: (301) 587-1788 TTY: (301) 587-1789 E-mail: NADinfo@nad.org Top Sign in or register to post comments

		Marie Cooper \| 11/8/12 @ 05:56 AM In PA there is a $500 grant available to any eligible deaf/HOH or Blind student through the Dept. Of Ed, Special Education for college students. I'd be glad to share the application form. This is not publicized as well as it could be in my opinion. Another source of scholarships and grants, many to those who are deaf or HOW is http://www.proyectovision.net/english/resources/index.html Top Sign in or register to post comments
