Funding Sources to Fund Disabled Student Projects on Campus: 1985 Perspective. A Health Resource Paper.
Duffy, Edward F.
Information on obtaining financial support to meet the needs of disabled college students is presented. Institutional planning components that are needed include a planning and support team, involvement of the disabled, and coordination of long-range planning with the service delivery system. Two publications on federal categorical funds and a directory of private and public grant funds are identified. Information is provided on five federal funding sources for programs for handicapped individuals in postsecondary institutions: Special Services for Disabled Students, Regional Post-Secondary Education Program for Deaf and Other Handicapped Persons, Cooperative Education Program, Rehabilitation Services and Facilities--Basic Support Program, and the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education. In addition to brief descriptions for each funding source, the enabling legislation is listed, along with appropriations (grants) for fiscal years 1981 through 1985. The range and average of financial assistance are identified, along with the address and phone numbers of contact persons. Advice on developing a proposal is included, with attention to the following elements: statement of need, objectives, methodology, evaluation, and budget. Funding from state/local agencies and foundations is also addressed. (SW)
