[blindLaw] Scholarships (internal within school) and aid and grants

[Nikki Singh]

I used a combination of financial aid, student loans, NFB
scholarships, and whatever internal scholarships that my law school
gave me. That last item refers to a specific scholarship given to
students who majored in literature during college and then went to
attend law school. I have no idea how voc rehab works and did not use
it at all after grade school. If you search on Google, you should be
able to find scholarships that give money to a variety of student
populations, including minorities and those with visual and print
disabilities. They are all fair game if you meet the basic eligibility
requirements.

Sincerely,
Nikki
