Finding College Grants For the Disabled
College grants for the disabled are necessary even in this progressive time. This is mainly because those with disabilities and handicaps have been found to be at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to pursuing higher education. To resolve that concern several corporate and private sources and the federal government have created programs that issue loans, scholarships and grants to the disabled. Disabled in this context can refer to mental or physical disabilities. This article will focus primarily on college grants for the disabled.
Background Information
A law was passed in 1975 called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The main intent was to make sure that over 40 million Americans would have more accessibility and mobility in the country. This law was amended to include other benefits which allowed other organizations to provide grants and scholarship awards through (IDEA). A good example of this is the National Federation for the Blind and the National Association of the Deaf who both award scholarship and grant money through (IDEA).
Additional Assistance
After (IDEA) made the act of segregation of disabled students an illegal one a number of universities and colleges have stepped up and made education funding available for the disabled. The following list while not exhaustive by any means does list some of those institutions:
George Washington University. Provides an entire informational brochure outlining their financial aid contributions for students with disabilities.
Gallaudet University. This educational institution is for the deaf and hearing impaired and offers financial aid for the disabled.
George Mason University. Actually has a Disability Resource Center that allows the disabled to research, apply and obtain grants and scholarships.
Western Michigan University. Created a fellowship program for disabled students that seek a higher education in the rehabilitation science field.
Kentucky Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. Offers various education awards for undergraduate and graduate students that have physical impairment or learning disabilities. This is for those attending Kentucky college.

Why Isn’t There an Online GED ?
Since 1942, more than 12 million adults have earned GED diplomas. Still, today there are over 39 million adults without a high school diploma, and the demand for a high school education is higher than ever. Because of this, there is a growing demand for the GED. Meanwhile, the Internet has given us many new options… online shopping, online gaming, and online classes. More and more people are asking: Can I take the GED online?
The GED cannot be taken online or at home. A lot of learners ask, why not? It’s just a test, isn’t it? The GED is not really just a test. Passing the GED is a significant accomplishment; GED certificate holders have higher skills than a third of high school graduates. The 95% of colleges and employers that accept and value the GED need to know that a GED credential is a substantial, meaningful achievement. The GED test is designed to be a valuable measure of basic skills in reading, writing, social studies, science and math as well as important skills in critical thinking, evaluation, and problem solving. To ensure the validity of these measurements, the GED is administered in a controlled environment by a proctor, where the identity of all test-takers can be checked. The careful design and administration of the GED test gives it value to employers, colleges, and ultimately test-takers.
Unfortunately, unscrupulous businesses are always ready to take advantage of people who are looking for an easy way to make up for not graduating high school. Online “high school” tests and schools are often worthless “diploma mills,” cheating customers out of $200 to $1,000 for a diploma that will be rejected by savvy employers and colleges.
A real GED can increase adults’ overall income by $350,000 over the course of their lifetimes, and if GED graduates go on to trade school, community college, or a university, their total lifetime income could be almost a million dollars higher. The value of the GED comes not just from a piece of paper but from having the measurable GED skills that are essential in today’s job market.
