Scholarships for hearing impaired college students?

A friend of mine who is hearing impaired is concerned about paying for college. Are there specific scholarships designed for hearing-impaired students that they should look into? Any suggestions would be helpful!

There are several scholarships specifically designed for hearing-impaired students to assist them in funding their college education.

1. The "AG Bell College Scholarship Program" - This is offered by the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. They provide various scholarships for full-time students who have pre-lingual bilateral hearing loss in the moderately severe to profound range.

2. Sertoma's Scholarship for the Hard of Hearing or Deaf - This organization provides scholarships for students with a minimum of 40dB bilateral hearing loss. Students need to be pursuing a bachelor’s degree on a full-time basis.

3."Travelers Protective Association of America Scholarship Trust for the Hearing Impaired" - They offer financial aid to those who suffer deafness or hearing impairment and who need assistance with costs for mechanical devices, medical or specialized treatment, or specialized education.

Please note the eligibility and application requirements may vary for each of these scholarships. It's always a great idea for students to contact the scholarship organization directly or visit their website to get further details and exact requirements. Also, remember to check out the scholarship offerings at the college or university your friend is attending or plans to attend because many institutions also have scholarships intended to support students with disabilities.

On a final note, a resource you might find helpful is Appily; they offer a database that lets students filter scholarships by eligibility criteria, which can be a great help in this process. I want to wish your friend the best of luck in their scholarship search! It's fantastic that you are supporting them in this process.
