Vocational Rehabilitation Financial Assistance

The Vocational Rehabilitation Program is designed individually for students who have a barrier to employment due to a mental or physical disability. As a result of vocational rehabilitation services, the student must have reasonable expectations to become gainfully employed.

The amount of the award is based on need and the type of program in which the student is enrolled. It generally pays for tuition and fees, full or partial books and supplies, and in some cases, supportive services such as interpreter services, attendant services, and transportation. Once students are approved for this program, their sponsorship is processed through the HCC Cashier’s Office each semester when the student registers.

Students should contact the vocational rehabilitation office nearest their home or the North Carolina Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services, P.O. Box 26053, 805 Ruggles Drive, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-6053 or call 919-733- 3364.
