In order to qualify, the student must be enrolled in a 2 or 4 years accredited college or university in the United States of America. They must be a matriculated student and attending school full-time and U.S. citizen. We will accept students who are not attending school full-time as long as the part-time attendance is due to their disability and not their financial situation (minimum of 6 credits for undergraduate, 6 credits for graduate). Unfortunately, we are not able to award scholarships to high school students.
Upon winning, the student will prove disability and matriculation through their Disability Student Services department. We define disability as described under the ADA: “A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities of such an individual. A record of such an impairment or being regarded as having such an impairment".
Be sure to submit your entry before the March 15, 2024 deadline. The winner will be announced on our website on April 1, 2024. All decisions made by disABLEDperson, Inc. are final.
Background The U.S. Census Bureau has proposed changes to how its annual American Community Survey produces estimates of how many people with disabilities are living in the country.
New estimates of disabled people, as per a committee of federal agency representatives has recommended, would be based on only survey participants who report "A lot of difficulty" or "Cannot do at all." Those reporting "Some difficulty" would be left out.
That recommendation could shrink the estimated share of the U.S. population with any disability by about 40% — from 13.9% of the country to 8.1% — according to testing the bureau conducted in 2022<http://r.sib.disabledperson.com/mk/cl/f/sh/7nVU1aA2ng1uQ3K1zLk7bQJfbzY3nwv/QRmiTcVFC-5g>.
The Essay If adopted, how would the above proposed changes affect the Disability Community?
Note: any essay exceeding 1000 words will be disqualified.
