Disability Scholarship Program

Vitality Medical's Student Disability Scholarship program is designed to encourage and support outstanding students who work hard and want to make a significant impact on their school and community. You do not have to be disabled in order to apply or win. There are many currently non-disabled students at universities that assist other students who are disabled or have used a disability or mobility device during their life.

The VitalityMedical.com disability scholarship fund will bestow $500 to each winner.

Participants must meet the following criteria:

Enrolled at an accredited high school, college, or university in the U.S.
Enrolled at the undergraduate level or your final year of high school.
Aged sixteen (16) years or older.
Carry a status of "good standing" (i.e. currently enrolled).
Maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 (or equivalent).
Postmarked by Sept 15 for the current school year.
Applicants are not required to possess a disability.
