Scholarships Available for Adults with Ds
|
The O'Neill Tabani Enrichment Fund has awarded 130 grants for postsecondary education to students with Down syndrome since 2005.
The Ethan Saylor scholarship is designed to help give individuals with Down syndrome a way to pursue their own quests, regardless of any perceived limitations.
With the goal of supporting NDSS’ #DSWORKS® Campaign and to help other self-advocates pursue their dreams of entrepreneurship, Blake and his family have established the NDSS #DSWORKS® Blake Pyron Entrepreneurship Scholarship.
