How To WIN College Scholarships Find Scholarship Money $$$

Hey everyone, I was contacted this week by the Rise Scholarship Foundation asking me to share their scholarship details on my site.  I often get emails from parents and students wondering if there are any scholarships out there for students with learning disabilities, so I'm happy to share this one.

From their site:

The RISE Scholarship Foundation, Inc. was established in 2010 to award high school graduates who are heroically starting on their college pursuit.

These students have endured the challenges of having a diagnosis of a learning disability, which is a neurological condition that can make it difficult to acquire certain academic and social skills.

Statistics show that only 13% of students with LD, attend college within two years of graduating high school.

In order to ensure that students, with learning differences, see the importance of accepting their differences and working hard to overcome the challenges they face, it become imperative for educators, therapist, and parents to look for ways to build self esteem and to stress the importance of continuing their educational pursuits. One way that this can be accomplished is by recognizing and rewarding success stories.

RISE is recognizing certain student’s hard work and dedication by selecting recipients for a $2500.00 scholarship, payable to the college they decide to attend.
