Scholarship Opportunity for students with disabilities.

Preply (an online tutoring platform company) has a scholarship program for individuals with learning disabilities, and wants to invite the students of UMBC to apply for it. This year, they will award $3.000, $1.500, and $750 to the 3 best applicants. They can use the money to cover their educational expenses or to learn a language.

Here's the link to their scholarship page: https://preply.com/en/scholarships/cognitive-disabilities-scholarship

It contains official rules, application form and previous winners of our scholarships.

Below, you may also find the general conditions and eligibility requirements:

Currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate student with a documented language learning or reading disability.

16-35 years old.

Minimum GPA: 2.5.

To apply, a student should submit a short video explaining why he's the best candidate for this scholarship (we do not publish the video and keep it private).

The video submission should be logically related to the following topics: “Overcoming cognitive disabilities” and “Learning foreign languages”.

Preply has also prepared a resource page that contains other scholarships from non-governmental organizations and charity funds, as well as services and organizations that help disabled students.
