This program aims to recruit 10 students who self-identify as members of the Disabled, Deaf Plus, d/Deaf, or hard of hearing community, and who demonstrate strong leadership skills and commitment to equity and justice for the Disability community. Students should be a good match for RIT academically and should be particularly invested in disability, equity, and social justice. Benefits of the Program
Who is Eligible? Current high school seniors who are applying to RIT in the fall of 2022 and self-identify as Disabled, Deaf Plus, d/Deaf, or hard of hearing are eligible to apply. The Regular Decision admissions application deadline is January 15. We understand disability as broad and as manifesting in a multitude of ways, whether lifelong or acquired, hidden or readily apparent. Those who identify with physical disability, learning disability, mental health disability, chronic illness, Deaf/Disabled identity, and more are within the scope of this initiative. Of particular importance to us is a student’s understanding of Disability as an identity and not a deficit. Application Process Here is the self-nomination form for this new scholarship and leadership opportunity. Nominations should come directly from the interested student and are due by February 1, 2022.
