One of the greatest challenges for college attendance is how to pay for it, and this can be particularly true for students with intellectual disability. But there are several avenues to explore for funding the cost of a college program. Vocational rehabilitation funds, Mediciad waiver funds, ABLE accounts, scholarships and financial aid may be able to help families and students pay for college. What is available for each student depends on what services are available to them in their area and what service they are eligible for, so it can be confusing.
We have put together resource pages on our site that share key curated resources and frequently asked questions on important topics related to inclusive postsecondary education. Visit the page that shares multiple resources and answers frequently asked questions about Paying for College for several helpful resources.
To the right on this page are resources you can download and read that share information about specific funding possibilities, such as federal financial aid, ABLE accounts, Medicaid and scholarships. Because each situation is different, you can reach out to us at our Help Desk if you have questions once you review these materials.
