Our scholarships are only available for disabled students at the University of Michigan who are connected with their disability services office.
Most of our scholarships are awarded based upon the greatest financial need of the student who has applied; we obtain this information directly from the Financial Aid office. Certain scholarships or funding require the submission of an additional essay or statement; in these cases, the donor or review committee has requested the additional information to aid them in the selection process.
We don't guarantee availability or amount of funds in any given year, as many of our funds are expendable. And while we delight in stewarding the funds available to our students, at times we may determine a need to pause the process of stewarding based on the internal needs of our unit.
Disability Funding requests are January-December, pausing every fourth month. You must have a disability to be eligible for Disability Funding.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Anya Cobler, SAAS Stewardship Program Coordinator, directly: anyaleah@umich.edu
