Empowering students with disabilities for higher education and career success
AccessED provides educational resources and support to help high school and college students with disabilities achieve their academic goals with confidence. Through outreach, learning opportunities, and scholarship support, we help students explore career pathways and academic programs, strengthen self-advocacy, and prepare for success in the workforce and beyond.
Helping students see what’s possible
Many students with disabilities don’t pursue higher education or career training because the process can feel overwhelming, unclear, or out of reach. Through educational outreach, AccessED helps students understand the value of continuing their education, navigate the process with confidence, and connect with resources and support systems that can help them thrive. Students don’t have to take the next step alone. We’re here to help guide and support them along the way.
Removing financial barriers
The AccessED Book Scholarship empowers students with disabilities to achieve academic success by helping remove financial barriers to purchasing textbooks, course materials, and other required learning resources. By easing the cost of education, we help students stay focused on what’s most important: completing their academic program and entering the workforce with confidence.
A student’s story
How support is helping students move forward.
It’s not easy to pay for college as a mom with three kids. This scholarship helped me a lot because I was so worried about tuition. I am grateful I was able to receive it.
