The Anne Ford Scholarship is a scholarship program that is awarded annually by the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) to graduating high school seniors with learning disabilities. The scholarship is named in honor of Anne Ford, the daughter of the late Henry Ford II, who was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age.
The application process for the Anne Ford Scholarship typically opens in the fall of each year, and the application deadline is usually in December. Applicants are required to submit an application form, academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement about their experiences with learning disabilities and how they have overcome them.
The Anne Ford Scholarship is one of several scholarship programs offered by the NCLD to support individuals with learning disabilities in their pursuit of higher education. Other NCLD scholarship programs include the Allegra Ford Thomas Scholarship and the LD Fellowship Program.
