I am a student who has a documented disability, and I only am able to attend school part-time as a result of my disability. I personally consider myself a non-traditional student for these two reasons, and I am wondering if other people would also consider me a non-traditional student. Part of the reason I ask this is because I would like to know if I would be eligible for any non-traditional student scholarships.
No, you are not a non-traditional student. Most non-traditional are older adult learners, who are attending college
Not quite. Non-traditional students are generally those that have taken several years after high school (not just a gap year, but someone that hadn’t necessarily planned on going to college at all and decides years later to go back to school), veterans, mid-career professionals, etc.
