Special Needs Advocacy Bogdan Radich Memorial Scholarship
Special Needs Advocacy is a 501(c)(3) that provides fiduciary services to the special needs community.
Those with special needs often aren’t welcomed and embraced by society. Underfunded schools struggle to provide adequate resources to students with special needs, public spaces lack appropriate accommodations, and society in general fails to provide adequate services to make the world accessible to all.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Bogdan Radich by supporting students who are dedicating their lives to helping those with special needs.
Any undergraduate or graduate student who is pursuing a career helping those with special needs (special education, occupational or physical therapy, social work, etc.) may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us about yourself and how you plan to make a difference through your career in helping those with special needs.
Please tell us about yourself and how you plan to make a positive social impact in your career serving those with special needs?
