The National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD) was developed through a four-year grant from the Office of Postsecondary Education, U.S. Department of Education (P116D150005), and administered through the Office for Postsecondary Education (originally funded via the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education). This grant funding ended on September 24, 2021. NCCSD is seeking additional funding at this time in order to continue.

The NCCSD is based at the Association on Higher Education And Disability (AHEAD).  Please see caveats on the home page about assuming the NCCSD, AHEAD or the US Dept. of Education agree with all content on linked pages, and we can't guarantee the accessibility of other sites.
