IIn order to qualify, the student must be enrolled in a 2 or 4 years accredited college or university in the United States of America. They must be a matriculated student and attend school full-time and U.S. citizens. We will accept students who are not attending school full-time as long as the part-time attendance is due to their disability and not their financial situation (minimum of 6 credits for undergraduate, 6 credits for graduate). Unfortunately, we are not able to award scholarships to high school students.

Upon winning, the student will prove disability and matriculation through their Disability Student Services department. We define disability as described under the ADA: “A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities of such an individual. A record of such an impairment or being regarded as having such an impairment".

[The Employer Assistance and Resource Network](http://r.sib.disabledperson.com/mk/cl/f/551Q8s7KnqcQviF33Vc7a_7QjSOS1lhwZVwxA2-elW9QpKO7_u0u7mjvEA_iMITEcLZe0TWHrGWX9Kv0N4VxQMXYW9k0PDS1JhpBRnsfWjeF-qWg0Xj19rrZvnKz0jDfQVMQp5NIxZVzTi5umO5-17JBGbWhvtALFXJWL6MOsOCSnB_VVZXc4rugUDDVcWE)on Disability Inclusion (EARN), a free resource funded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), is launching its “Disability is Diversity” campaign this March. Smart organizations are increasingly focusing on and investing in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, but have historically focused on limited demographic descriptors such as race, age, ethnicity, and sexual orientation to guide their work. Too often, these efforts miss a key component of diversity—disability.

Throughout the month, EARN is working to help employment professionals understand the importance of expanding their DEI efforts to include people with disabilities—reflecting the growing trend toward diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA).

Here are a few tips to help support this mission and amplify this important message:
