The Ca. Association on Postsecondary Education and Disability (CAPED) is offering a number of scholarships for students with disabilities. The application deadline is October 8th, 2010. 

The 2010 CAPED Conference which has the theme of Transitions is being co-sponsored by CHIIP. Scholarships will be announced at the Conference which will be held October 23-27 in San Jose. While it is always wonderful when students can accept an award in person, it is not required. 

We will be providing scholarships to our CHIIP Advisory Committee youth representatives to attend CAPED since it has many sessions of interest and we will also have our next Advisory Committee meeting at the San Jose Hilton where the conference is being held on October 28. 

Eligible students may submit one application for all of the scholarships for which they would be eligible. A few of the scholarships are limited to students with a certain type of disability or who are enrolled in a specific type of program or area of study. All California Community Colleges would be considered two year schools and all California State University, University of California, and accredited, private universities offering Bachelor's degrees or beyond would be considered four year universities.Please check out the following link http://www.caped.net/convention/scholarships.html
