If you are currently a full-time college student who uses a wheelchair, this is one scholarship you are going to want to apply for! Check out this email I received from AmeriGlide:

We’re looking for a full time college student who uses a mobility aid such as a power or manual wheelchair, or a mobility scooter. Our goal with this scholarship is to contribute their education (and through it their future) by offsetting the cost of books and tuition.
