UPDATED: Scholarships for College Bound Students

College
is expensive! Working with several students who have transitioned from high
school to college has made that clear. Luckily there are many scholarships
specifically for students with hearing loss.

Below
are links to scholarships that I’ve gathered over the years. I share these with
my high school seniors (and often help them fill out the applications) and I
encourage you to share them with your students as well. Many have deadlines in
the next few months so let’s pass them along!

About the Hear Me Out Blog

Itinerant teachers of the deaf (TOD) provide direct services to children with hearing loss in mainstream schools, consultation to their teachers, and professional development to school staff. Itinerant TODs travel to a child’s neighborhood school to provide one-on-one educational support, foster listening and spoken language development, and help children build social and self-advocacy skills. They also act as a liaison between the family and their mainstream school. Hear Me Out provides a unique forum for these special teachers to share their experiences as they grow as professionals.
