). 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.
