Funding needs will vary depending upon the level of commitment from each of the involved parties. However, space on college campuses is a precious commodity, so be prepared to be flexible, at least initially. Other necessary equipment will include a computer, desk, filing cabinet, phone, fax, email access, Xerox, and possibly a cell phone for emergency contacts. Talk to your LSS and college contacts to determine who is going to supply these essentials. Identify college access issues.
Some colleges require students to apply in order to use the campus facilities.
Others require a student activity fee. If your students will be attending classes, find out the college policy for registration. In some cases, students can have the tuition paid for by social security. It is also important to work with the faculty to engage their cooperation and support. Contact the college disability support services office to find out which instructors might be more open and responsive to a high school students in their class.
