My daughter is a senior and we are exploring financial aid. Is there any scholarship/aid for children with a parent who has MS?

Keep searching the internet - surely there are scholar ships for students with parents with disabilities.

National MS Society does have schlorships for us who have children.
Not sure requirements
Also she should qualify for grants.

Thanks! I have searched a bunch. Yes my husband works and his salary keeps us from help. I can't work and it just stinks! I wish I could have worked all these years to have a college savings for her. Thanks again

Well..maybe for kids of parents who are on a certain income level due to disability. It wouldnt be much different than single parent households on a certain income. Your child can ask the career counselor at school for a list of available scholarships, Im pretty sure. Clubs like Kiwanis. And Rotary clubs offer scholarships but its typically for good grades or community service the kid provides. Maybe look up Natl ms society website, but if anything, it may be just for students with ms...Im not certain long story short. Usually to receive scholarships one needs to be exemplarary in something.
