Students with Disabilities
The ChairScholars Foundation provides scholarships for
college and vocational training to low-income students with severe
physical disabilities, giving them the opportunity to pursue their
dreams because “no physical impairment should deter a motivated mind.” The foundation offers three scholarship programs – the Florida Scholarship Program, the National Scholarship Program and the New York Metropolitan Area Scholarship Program.

The Gilman International Scholarship
provides awards for U.S. undergraduate students who are receiving
Federal Pell Grant funding at a two-year or four-year college or
university to participate in study abroad programs worldwide. The
program aims to support students who have been traditionally
under-represented in study abroad, including but not limited to,
students with high financial need, community college students, students
in under-represented fields such as the sciences and engineering,
students with diverse ethnic backgrounds, and students with
disabilities.
