Limited Partial Scholarships

Partial PEPNet-Northeast/DiiT Scholarships Available

The DiiT project is happy to offer partial scholarship awards to qualified applicants living in the Northeast. You must live in one of these areas to apply for this scholarship:

Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Vermont, or the US Virgin Islands.

Scholarship awards are supported by the PEPNet-Northeast http://www.netac.rit.edu  (formerly the Northeast Technical Assistance Center (NETAC)). PEPNet-Northeast is located at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, a college of the Rochester Institute of Technology. PEPNet-Northeast provides outreach and technical assistance to postsecondary programs in the Northeast. It serves individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing.

To qualify to receive a PEPNet-Northeast/DiiT partial scholarship award you must live in one of the areas above, and must apply and meet all of the rules described below. If you do not meet all of the rules, you cannot receive a scholarship. Awards will be made to qualified applicants until all of the funds have been used.

If you receive a scholarship, it will only pay for your registration fee for one workshop. One person cannot receive more than one scholarship.

The scholarship will not pay any other expenses. If you receive a scholarship award, you are responsible to pay for your travel, hotel, some meals, and any other expenses you may have related to the DiiT workshop you attend.

To apply for a scholarship you must meet the rules below; if you do not, we cannot award a scholarship to you.
