Student scholarship opportunities

Financial aid for every age and stage

Three students engage with a laptop and robot parts at a school electronics workshop, receiving assistance from a grownup.

"Thanks to the financial award from AG Bell, I was able to keep doing the sport I love—Rowing!"

Apply for financial aid

From music and dance to sports and school, children and teens with hearing loss should have every opportunity to live a life without limits! That’s why we offer financial aid and scholarships for all ages, from preschool to graduate school. 

For every application we must receive documentation of a bilateral hearing loss in the moderately-severe to profound range and the use of listening and spoken language.
