Incight Scholarships for Students with Disabilities

If you are a disabled student looking for student aid, AND residents of Oregon, Washington, or California, you will want to apply to the Incight Scholarships for students with a disabilities. The reason is, it’s broad in regards to what kind of disability you must have to apply. It’s quit general and includes most disabilities there are in order to apply.

Incight is a 501 (C) 3 non-profit. Their main objective is that they support and empower key life aspects of education, employment, and independence for disabled people. They believe that there is much potential locked up in the community from disabled people that the past years have indicated. Incight states that much of the unrealized potential has been unfairly sealed off primarily from past stigmas of low expectations for disabled peoples.

Incight combats that by offering (3) different programs which helps disabled people reach their full potential. They want the community as a whole to have a greater conversation on this very fact. They sates that “Each of their (3) programs is built on the back bone of an anti-stigma approach”. They want disabled people to be included as regular people in everything. They have a vision of support for disability in the workforce, education, athletics, recreation, and all other necessary resources to successfully complete.

***This is a noble venture to have, and Incight should be congratulated by all who read this!
