The Allegra Ford Thomas Scholarship is a program offered by the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) to support students with learning disabilities who are pursuing post-secondary education. The scholarship was created in honor of Allegra Ford Thomas, a young woman with learning disabilities who was dedicated to improving the lives of those with similar challenges.
The scholarship is open to graduating high school seniors who have been diagnosed with a learning disability and are planning to attend a two-year community college, a vocational or technical training program, or a four-year university. The award is $5,000 per year and can be renewed for up to four years.
The scholarship is intended to help students with learning disabilities achieve their academic and career goals by providing financial support and recognition for their accomplishments. If you are a student with a learning disability who is pursuing higher education, I encourage you to consider applying for the Allegra Ford Thomas Scholarship.
