Information about how handicapped students can pay for postsecondary education and training is provided in this fact sheet for students, parents, and professionals who assist disabled students. The financial aid system is described, with attention to the application and disbursement process and federal financial aid programs. The family contribution, how to determine student need, and a financial aid package are explained, including technical words and phrases. Particular attention is given to expenses that are considered disability-related, including suggestions on how to include them in a budget. The role that the vocational rehabilitation system can play in providing financial support and other resources for disabled students are addressed, as is cooperation between vocational rehabilitation and campus financial aid offices. Additional sources of financial aid are also covered: Supplemental Security Income program; Social Security benefits; Talent Search, Educational Opportunity Centers, and Special Services for Disadvantaged Students programs; state programs; and private scholarships. Included are a list of organizations offering scholarships, selected annotated resources, and a pre-college financial checklist. (SW)
