[nabs-l] Voc Rehab tuition assistance

[Melanie Peskoe]

Dear List,
I will be attending law school this fall and I’m currently in the process of piecing together funding. The Kentucky Office for the Blind has a $5000 annual cap on tuition assistance and a $300 annual cap on books. These caps are based on an instate undergraduate degree program. I’m seeking an exception to this policy as my instate law school tuition and book expenses are significantly higher than the cap. I’m wondering if there is anyone on this list who has received an exception to similar policies from your state agency? What was the process and outcome of your experience? 
Kind regards,
Melanie
