College Scholarships for Students with Tourette Syndrome

College Scholarships for Students with Tourette Syndrome

While the Tourette Association of America does not provide college scholarships there are currently 3 scholarships specifically for students with Tourette Syndrome (TS) available through other organizations.

Apart from the scholarships available for students with tics or TS, it is important to keep in mind that often students with TS are also impacted by co- occurring conditions. If you are searching for scholarships for a student with TS, and this student also has a diagnosis of another disorder, it might be helpful to also research scholarships that are either for co-occurring conditions or that have more broadly defined criteria.

For example, there are scholarships for students with ADHD and specifically some that are for students with learning disabilities (which can include Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Dyslexia, and Auditory Processing Disorder among others). There are also scholarships available each year that are even more broadly defined for students with disabilities, which could include a very wide range of conditions. Below we have listed some scholarship opportunities in areas most frequently impacting the TS population that you might want to consider looking into if searching for scholarships.
