disABLEDperson, Inc. is excited to
announce our Spring 2010 nationally based scholarship competition for
college students with disabilities! This competition begins on January 11, 2010
and ends on March 1, 2010 for the award of $1000.00 (one thousand dollars)!
To participate, follow these simple steps: Write an essay with no more than 750
words (prompt can be found below). Click on the “Register Now” link below. Fill
out the form completely and paste your essay into the form.
A few reminders: Please keep in mind that the form must be filled out
completely. We cannot accept incomplete or fraudulent forms. Spelling and
grammar is imperative. Please submit carefully edited drafts only.
In order to qualify, the student must be enrolled in a 2 or 4 year accredited
college or university in the United States of America. They must be a full-time
student and U.S. citizen (minimum of 12 credits for undergraduate, 9 credits for
graduate). Unfortunately, we are not able to award scholarships to high school
students or college students who are not attending classes full-time.
Upon winning, the student will prove disability through their Disability Student
Services department. We define disability as: “A disadvantage or deficiency,
especially a physical or mental impairment that interferes with or prevents
normal achievement in a particular area, something that hinders or
incapacitates.”
Be sure to submit your entry before the March 1, 2010 deadline. The winner will
be announced on our website on March 15, 2010. All decisions made by
disABLEDperson, Inc. are final.
The essay question for this competition is: “How would you rate President
Obama for the work he has done in his first year as president, be specific”?
