Paying for college is hard. However, there are scholarships available for students with intellectual disability who want to go to college. This resource was created to help families and others locate scholarship money to help pay for college. There are scholarships listed that any student is eligible for, and many that are for students with specific disabilities. The information included in this document is up-to-date as of February 2026. The information will be reviewed and updated every year.

Peer mentors provide crucial social, academic, and campus community inclusion supports to students with intellectual disability enrolled in higher education. Research on the perspectives of peer mentors provides valuable insight into the impact that supporting students with intellectual disability has on both the students and the mentors.

Many students, including those with intellectual disability, benefit from explicit campus navigation and acclimation training in their new campus community. This kind of training can help prepare students for campus and community involvement. Learning campus navigation skills can benefit incoming college students, and can generalize to other new environments, resulting in increased independent community access. This publication summarizes the available research on teaching campus navigation and makes recommendations on how and when to teach these skills to students.

Faculty perspectives on teaching students with intellectual disability are important to consider as college programs continue to grow and more students are enrolling. To ensure faculty experiences are considered in program development and improvement, we conducted a brief literature review of postsecondary education-related articles, focusing on those that included the perspectives of faculty who taught students with intellectual disability at colleges or universities.

As we develop and evaluate postsecondary education programs for students with intellectual disability, we must consider students’ perspectives on known program elements that work well and elements that need improvement. To support the consideration of student voices in program development and evaluation, the Think College Inclusive Higher Education Network conducted a brief literature review of articles that included the voices and perspectives of college students or college graduates with intellectual disability.

Through secondary analyses of data obtained from the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) National Coordinating Center database of model demonstration sites in Florida, this study examined components of inclusive postsecondary education programs for students with intellectual disabilities correlated with employment upon program exit. Inclusive coursework was found to have the strongest correlation with the post-school outcome of paid, competitive employment upon exit.
This toolkit was created to support the "Think Higher. Think College." public awareness campaign.
