scholarship, that individual will have to present to disABLEDperson Inc. an
unofficial transcript from their school. If the winner can not
demonstrate that they are taking a full time course load in a 2 or 4 year

community may not be able to attend school full time because of their
disability. However, we stand by our decision that the winner of our
competition must be enrolled with a minimum of 12 credits because the financial
burden of attending college full time is greater that the financial burden of
attending college part time. </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
