Hello everyone! Given the value of this site to many college applicants, it is our delight to inform you all of a new yearly $1,500 scholarship for impaired students. 

PickAScholarship’s goal is to help students overcome any financial barriers so that those who are struggling financially can concentrate more on their studies and their college experience rather than stressing about how they’re going to fund their education. 

About Sleep Family

To give you a little background on the scholarship provider, know that they are a family-run business that provides valuable solutions for people who struggle with sleep and wellness problems, particularly those brought on by mental and physical challenges.

Sleep Family Scholarship For Those With Disabilities

Getting higher education has become more expensive than ever before, particularly for those with disabilities who must cover additional medical costs in addition to regular college costs like books and tuition. In order to help level the playing field for people with disabilities, Sleep Family is offering a $1,500 annual scholarship for a deserving disabled student.

They believe that by eradicating certain financial barriers, students who have disabilities will be able to concentrate more on their studies and college life rather than panicking about how they will pay their bills.

Conditions for Eligibility

  • Enrollment Eligibility: All candidates must currently be enrolled in an American 2-4 year community college, university, or graduate program, or have plans to enroll in one.
  • Medical Disability: Applicants must have a mental or physical disability that has been certified by a physician.
  • GPA: All applicants should be in strong academic standing given the minimum GPA requirement of 2.5 for application.

How to Apply

To apply, please submit a brief essay (no more than 750 words) addressing the following issues:

  • What challenges did you face while you worked to achieve academic success?
  • What do you intend to do with your degree and what is your end goal or dream job?

To help the scholarship board get to know you better personally, please attempt to add as many unique touches as you can.

  • Full name
  • Current postal address
  • Phone number
  • A brief description of your disability
  • The name of the college you currently attend or intend to enroll in

Process of Selection and Notification

By January 15th, the winner will be notified of their award once all applications have been reviewed by the Sleep Family Scholarship Committee.

After being notified that they have won the scholarship, the winner must submit verification documentation of their impairment as well as a current letter of acceptance or proof of enrollment in order to collect their scholarship check. Another winner will be selected if the original winner does not reply within 7 days of being contacted.

Prize Money: a one-time $1,500 prize

Additional Information to Note

Please keep in mind that the scholarship offered by the Sleep Family is not renewable. However, recipients may reapply, and fresh scholarships are given out every year.
