If you're deaf, blind, dyslexic, or otherwise disabled, look into special scholarships and financial aid for people with disabilities
by searching online using keywords similar to "scholarships disabled." There are numerous scholarship programs specifically for people with disabilities and you may also qualify for state and federal programs.
A good reference, which you might find in your local library, is Financial Aid for the Disabled and Their Families, by David Weber and Gail Schlachter. The book is updated every two years. -

Many states provide free tuition at state schools to college-aged children of veterans who were killed or severely disabled during a period of declared war or conflict. You may also be eligible if you're the widow or widower of a veteran or the spouse of a veteran who is missing in action or disabled. Consult your high school guidance counselor, state veterans services office, or your college financial aid office for details on how to apply.
