Are there funds available for students with medical disabilities?

Yes there is. I am on one at the moment. Its called a disability support pension and the commonwealth government provides it. The amount you get depends on what your circumstances are..if you live with your parents, your income etc. I get around $300.00 per fortnight. But as I said, when your considered independant you get more... around $400.00. They require you to fill in a few forms and provide a medical certificate from your doctor. Hope that helps!

Aside from FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov  and Pell Grant http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/2004_2005/english/types.htm , you may want to explore private foundation grants\n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) and their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices."

You may want to go to a teaching school, if there is one in the area.  If you don't have the money or insurance, you may wind up getting them free!!

There are some, yes.\n\nCheck out this link for loans: http://www.edupass.org/finaid/loans.phtml (particularly the ISLP loan)\nOr check out this one for other options: http://www.edupass.org/finaid/\n\nMany schools offer institutional scholarships to international students.  Don't let closed-minded people's comments get you down.  At the school I work for, we don't take citizenship status into consideration when determining a student's eligibility for our merit awards; we understand that talented students come from all over the globe. Our administration certainly doesn't consider it "a waste of money" -- it works both ways: just as our school looks good on our students' resumes, any cream-of-the-crop student (regardless of where they are from) looks good on ours.

I also think it is pretty rare.  It may be possible to get outside scholarships from a local source or "contest" type scholarship.  Most merit based scholarships I know are not near full tuition at all.  Every bit helps though.  Financial based aid is usually not in the form of scholarships, but loans.\n\nThe military medical program may be an option.  Also, I've seen programs (and I can not remember where online) that offer to repay your med school loans if you do residencies in understaffed areas or fields.  I'm going to look for that again

Many universities offer funds. Also try scholarship websites.

You get him in with $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Contact individual schools about their own special programs. They are separate from state funding and regulations so right now their aren't grants or loans for you to use unless your state has a voucher program.  Contact the school and start early.

I had a wonderful experience with ECI in Missouri. They had a wonderful program in the town where we lived. This was also several years ago. Funding changes all things unfortunately. It really depends on where you live and the people providing the services. You must be self informed and demanding if necessary now days. Also I recommend that you join local  programs or boards with any relation to the disability of your child. I wish you well. Good luck! Ask, Ask, Ask, Search, Search, Search. I hope your needs are met.

Probably.  check with your local employement office to see if they offer vocational retraining grants.  Also call the hospitals and see if they know of anything.  With the critical shortage, I'm sure their is money, you just have to find it.\n\nThere are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.\n\nDo a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/lion's club etc. \n\nGo to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

There is a specific section that is featured on fastweb today about international grants and scholarships.  \n\n\nYou should also check with a financial aid advisor where you attend school.  Some schools also have international student clubs and departments that specialize in resources for the international student.

If you're looking to make the fund available to students everywhere (such as the types of scholarships you might see on FastWeb), take a look at FinAid's guide to scholarship design and management: http://www.finaid.org/educators/awarddesign.phtml\n\nIf you have a particular school in mind, just call their Institutional Advancement (or "Development" or "Alumni") office(s) and tell them you want to create an endowed fund for their students.  They will be more than happy to help you set something up.  In these cases, you can usually (if not always) pick the criteria.
