College Funds

Hi everyone,

I’m a college student diagnosed with POTS (also autistic and OCD), and I’m currently trying to fund my upcoming semester. I’m pursuing a degree in Business Economics and Management and hope to go into Human Resources, focused on disability advocacy and inclusive workplaces.

Balancing school, work, and POTS symptoms has been a learning curve, to say the least. I’ve managed to stay on track academically, but tuition plus medical expenses add up quickly. I’m actively applying to scholarships and reaching out to organizations, but I wanted to ask here in case anyone knows of:

• Scholarships specifically for students with POTS or dysautonomia
• Chronic illness or invisible disability scholarships
• Organizations that offer small grants or emergency education funds
• Any tips that helped you fund school while managing POTS

Even smaller awards would make a difference right now. I really appreciate any guidance or personal experiences you’re willing to share.

Thank you 💛
