Hearing/Visually Impaired Student Grant

The Hearing/Visually Impaired Student Grant, administered by the Wisconsin Higher Educational Aids Board, provides financial assistance to undergraduate students who have a severe or profound hearing or visual impairment. To qualify, applicants must be Wisconsin residents enrolled at least half-time in an undergraduate degree or certificate program. Eligible institutions include in-state public, independent, and tribal colleges, as well as select out-of-state schools.

The program is designed to help cover educational costs, and funding ranges from $250 to $1,800 per year. This grant is renewable, though students are limited to a maximum of ten semesters of eligibility. To apply, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to demonstrate financial need, alongside the specific Hearing/Visually Impaired Student Grant Application. For current deadlines and application dates, applicants should consult the official program page.
