Paying for College: Exploring Funding Sources for an Inclusive Postsecondary Education Program. Insight: A Think College Brief on Policy, Research, & Practice. Issue No. 53
Weir, Cate
Institute for Community Inclusion
A college education is an investment in the future of every student who pursues one, but it does not come cheap. College expenses include tuition, fees, books, equipment, and room and board, if a student chooses to live on campus. These all add up, and every student must determine where the funding for college will come from. Students with intellectual disability (ID) are likely to use many of the same resources as other college students to pay for college. There are some resources specific to individuals with disabilities to consider as well. Students are using numerous approaches to pay for college, often braiding together several different funding sources to cover the costs. This report includes information about a variety of possible funding sources that students and their families can consider as they determine what will work for their specific situations.
