College
is expensive! Working with several students who have transitioned from high
school to college has made that clear. Luckily there are many scholarships
specifically for students with hearing loss.
Below
are links to scholarships that I’ve gathered over the years. I share these with
my high school seniors (and often help them fill out the applications) and I
encourage you to share them with your students as well. Many have deadlines in
the next few months so let’s pass them along!
