NM Division of Vocational rehabilitation
The NM Division of Vocational rehabilitation (DVR) is a federal and state program, and their goal is to assist people with disabilities to become employed. It is an eligibility-based program. One of the services that may be available to you, depending on your circumstances and the determination of DVR, is funding for college. If you are interested in pursuing this option, we would encourage you to apply with your local DVR office as soon as possible to see if they would be able to help you. The process can take up to 5 months to be found eligible and established in an employment plan, but it could be worth the effort to see if you can get funding for college. This is funding that you would not have to pay back.
