GIVING
Students in the internationally-recognized Disability Studies program at The University of Toledo have great potential, but they need your help. When you give to the Disability Studies Scholarship and Research Fund, you transform lives by helping students obtain their education.
The Disability Studies Scholarship is near endowment, but we need your help to reach our goal. In 2020, we plan to celebrate five years of offering the B.A. by providing additional student scholarships. Your generous contributions will enable us to give financial assistance to more talented and hardworking students.
