2009 College Scholarships for Students with
Parents with Disabilities Announcement
All application materials must be completed and postmarked by Monday March
16, 2009.
Through the Looking Glass and its National Center for Parents with Disabilities
and their Families are pleased to announce new scholarships specifically for
high school seniors and college students who have parents with disabilities.
These scholarships are part of Through the Looking Glass* new federal
grant (New National
Center for Parents with Disabilities and their Families). Please note
that these are new awards and have different application procedures than in the
past. There are two separate scholarship awards, and each has
separate eligibility requirements:
1. High School Seniors. To be eligible, a student must be a
high school graduate (or graduating senior) by Summer 2009, planning to attend
college in Fall 2009 and have at least one parent with a disability.
Five separate $1000 awards will be given out in Fall 2009. Individuals may
submit only one application per award period.
2. College Students. To be eligible, a student must be currently
enrolled in a college or university, be 21 years of age or younger as of
March 16, 2009, and have at least one parent with a disability.
Five separate $1000 awards will be given out in Fall 2009. Individuals may
submit only one application per award period.
Selection criteria for all scholarships include academic performance,
community activities and service, letters of recommendation and an essay
describing the experience of growing up with a parent with a disability.
These Scholarships are also part of a research study on young adult children
of parents with disabilities. As explained in the Consent Form in the
Application, you may be willing to participate in an optional survey about
young adult children of parents with disabilities. The additional
information you submit on this survey will not affect your
scholarship chances and will not be disclosed to anyone outside the project
researchers; all identifying information will be removed. If you consent
to participate in this optional survey, we will email you the survey after
we have received your completed application.
Thanks,
Scholarships Coordinator
