The fund supports a variety of programs, events and educational materials designed to promote University and community awareness of disability related issues. These services include peer groups, personal care attendant referrals, tutorial assistance, and student mentors. The multitude of products currently on the market reflects the growing awareness that accessibility and capability are sometimes only a new design away. Each year private support helps Disability Services award thousands of dollars in scholarships honoring former UGA students. Like the Disability Services Support Fund, these awards help students receive the benefit of a complete UGA education.
Special consideration is given to students with chronic health conditions.
We appreciate your interest in supporting our students. Any contribution will make a positive difference in their lives, helping them meet their unique challenges and obtain the full benefit of their UGA education. You are welcome to visit our offices and see firsthand the benefits of your gift. All gifts for Disability Services are made through the University of Georgia Foundation. You may direct your gift to support Disability Services by indicating that your contribution is intended for the Disability Services Support Fund.
