Vocational Rehabilitation Services
For College Students With Disabilities

Vocational Rehabilitation or VR is a state and federally funded agency located in all fifty states. VR serves anyone, including students, who meets the eligibility guidelines and is living in the state. The person must have a physical or mental disability that is a barrier to employment. Students who suspect they have a disability can also apply.

Vocational Rehabilitation can assist eligible students to:

• Enroll in training programs, e.g., college or vocational/technical education by providing:

Education related expenses not covered by other resources, such as federal financial aid.

Equipment related to the disability needed for the student’s training program or for activities of daily living.

Career counseling to help students decide their major.

• Achieve competitive employment by providing:

Interview and job seeking skills training.

Expenses related to job seeking.
