Let’s Close the Gap Together

For many people with disabilities, opportunity is not limited by talent, motivation, or dreams.

It is limited by access. A student may need adaptive equipment to participate fully in school. An adult with a disability returning to college may need financial support to continue their education. A person with a disability may need a practical tool that improves mobility, safety, communication, independence, or daily living.

These needs may seem small to some systems, but they can make a life-changing difference. Disability Partnerships created its scholarships and grants to help close these gaps.
