Do you get help with Financial Aid if you have a Learning Disability?
Besides the basic form of Financial Aid that the Government offers, are there any other special grants or loans that the Government or any other organization that helps fund people with learning disability with schooling? To the next generation Republican/right-wing out there, I am not asking for a handout from the Government, I will give back to the community when I am able and educated. I just need some money and help to invest in my education. Anyway, does anybody know where I can get some financial help for school? I was diagnosed by a licensed professional, which I can prove that I have a learning disability.

- yes... my sister have a learning disability and is hard of hearing and she get help with financial aid fasha i think it called type in financial aid in your google search and see what come up
- I worked for 10 years as a financial aid counselor and I can tell you that there are no federal programs designed specifically for those with learning disabilities. There are programs to help you complete a FAFSA (Free application for Federal Student Aid). Your school or private scholarships are another matter. Research to see if the institution you attend offers support, or possibly if there are any private funds available to individuals with your disability. The BEST place to start is in the Financial Aid office. talk to a counselor who can discuss grants and scholarship availability as well as lona and employment options.
