No theres not any program like that. She might have to face facts and get a full time job then do her schooling on-line to complete it. Hope this helps :-)

wrong.

keep in mind that the major obstacle here is figuring out which sources of financial aid actually apply to her.

aid that comes from the federal government is easy. basically, you just turn in a form called a FAFSA (it has a deadline), and they decide how much financial aid you need. then they get back to you with a set of grants and loans they’re willing to offer.

this is the department of education’s financial aid portal
http://www.ed.gov/finaid/landing.jhtm…

and this is the wikipedia article on Financial Aid. info at the bottom summarizes federal aid options

this page summarizes “college funding strategies for students with disabilities”
http://www.washington.edu/doit/Brochu…

and this one has all the info about who qualifies for supplementary income through the Social Security Administration
http://www.ssa.gov/disability/

and finally, this is some random website i found that discusses financial aid for students with disabilities
http://www.finaid.org/otheraid/disabl…

it mentioned the following:

Ethel Louise Armstrong Foundation (ELA)
The ELA Scholarship provides financial assistance to women with physical disabilities who are enrolled in a college or university graduate program in the United States. ELA Scholarship awards are based on merit and are given in an objective and nondiscriminatory basis. Each applicant is required to submit an application packet including an application form, a college transcript, two letters of academic recommendation, a medical verification form and an essay outlining how she will “Change the Face of Disability on the Planet.” Scholarships range from $500 to $2,000 per year. The application deadline is June 1.

which is for grad school only. but she might find something similar for undergrad by investigating further.

good luck.

The post that I made is correct. She is looking for immediate help and the programs that you listed takes at least three to four months to complete. Read the post again then you will figure it out. LOL Hope this helps :-)
