Any scholarships for students with dyslexia?

I have dyslexia and I'm looking into colleges. Are there specific scholarships available for students like me? I'd love to hear about any that might help with tuition costs.

Absolutely, there are several scholarships that are specifically designed to support students with dyslexia.

1. The Anne Ford Scholarship: This is a $10,000 scholarship ($2,500/year over four years) granted by the National Center for Learning Disabilities. This scholarship is for a high school senior with a documented learning disability (like dyslexia) who will be enrolling in a full-time bachelor's degree program.

2. The Allegra Ford Thomas Scholarship: Also provided by the National Center for Learning Disabilities, this is a $5,000 scholarship awarded to a high school senior with a documented learning disability who will be enrolled in a two-year community college, a vocational or technical training program, or a specialized program for students with LD.

3. The Rise Scholarship Foundation: They offer several $2,500 scholarships for students with a documented learning disability.

To apply for these scholarships, you'll typically need to demonstrate financial need, have a solid academic record, and often, have some involvement in activities outside of academics. Each of these has its own application process and specific requirements, so you will want to look carefully at what each requires. Remember that external scholarships like these are just one way to fund your education. Be sure to also submit your FAFSA to apply for federal student aid, and check with the colleges you're applying to about their disability support services and any additional funding that might be available.
