Accessibility Bridge Scholarship Program
Accessibility Bridge Scholarship Program
College is disproportionately costly for students enrolling in College Transition Programs (CTP)designed to support students with intellectual disabilities who want to continue academic, career, and independent living instruction to prepare for gainful employment. While the cost to attend these collegiate programs are equal to or greater than traditional college degreed programs, current regulations surrounding federal student loans prohibit students enrolling in CTP programs from qualifying for federal student loan funding, causing most or all expenses to be out of pocket.
Accessibility Bridge Corporation recognizes students with intellectual disabilities in their pursuits of post-secondary vocational or academic training by offering scholarships of varying amounts to assist with this courageous and necessary step towards independence, economic stability, educational equity and social inclusion. Take a look at the video above, " A Day in the Life of Marina". Its part of a vlog featuring Marina Martinez who has been studying marketing at UGA through the Destination Dawgs program. What this video shows is her increased independence and the inclusive nature of the CTP program and the college campus. Our Scholarship program affords more students opportunities to thrive in collegiate environments, just like Marina.
Applicants must have a diagnosed intellectual impairment (defined as a disability characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills (This disability originates and is diagnosed before the age of 18).
