Does anyone know of any college grants and/or scholarships for disabled undergrads?

My daughter has been accepted into the university of her choice and now needs to find the money to attend. People keep telling me that there should be a lot of scholarships and grants for someone like her (she’s disabled), but I haven’t come across that many.

Depending on her disability and her chosen field of study, she may be able to get help at the local Vocational Rehabilitation office. They sometimes help people with tuition and fees for people with disabilities. You will also have best luck for scholarships going directly to the school she is planning on attending. Usually they list them on their website along with the minimum academic requirements to apply.
