USCA LIFE

Because we are an approved Comprehensive Transition Postsecondary (CTP) program, financial aid is available for USCA LIFE students.

Visit the Financial Aid website for specific information about federal aid opportunities.

The national organization for LIFE Programs, Think College, produces a brief on Scholarships for Students with Intellectual Disabilities.

Some organizations offer scholarship opportunities, including Ruby's Rainbow and the O'Neill Tabani Enrichment Fund.
