2009 College Scholarships for Students with
Parents with Disabilities Announcement
All application materials must be completed and postmarked by Monday

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 <HYPERLINK
"http://lookingglass.org/ncpd/index.php"http://lookingglass.org/ncpd/index.p

). 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.
