HSCF is accepting applications for the Advocates in Disability Award (ADA).
The HSC Foundation’s ADA Award has gone national and is seeking the next generation of disability advocates!! Young leaders with disabilities are encouraged to apply for the 2012 Advocates in Disability Award (ADA)!
The purpose of the ADA Program is to award and encourage a young individual with a disability between the ages of 14 and 26, who has dedicated himself/herself to positively affecting the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families in the United States. The program also supports an innovative project developed by a young person with a disability that serves and empowers individuals with disabilities.
The Advocates in Disability Award (ADA) is a program of The HSC Foundation, funded in part by the Sarah Beth Coyote Foundation. The selected recipient is awarded $3,000 in recognition of his/her past disability advocacy and will receive up to an additional $7,000 in funding support for his/her proposed project that focuses on serving and empowering individuals with disabilities.
