Students apply online via the disABLEDperson.com website when competitions open (typically mid-December for spring and mid-August for fall). Applicants must be matriculated, attending at least half-time (minimum 6 credits for undergraduates), and US citizens or permanent residents. Winners verify disability and enrollment through their campus disability services department. The site also publishes a broader resource library on financial aid, employment, and assistive technology for people with disabilities.
