What is Assest Building? Asset building is a strategy where one invests in things which appreciate over time.

What is Asset Building?

Continuum of Asset Building Tools  Education  Student Earned Income Exclusion (SEIE)  1619 (a)(b)  Medicaid Buy-In  Employment  Banking and Credit-Cards  Loans for Assistive Technology  Individual Development Accounts  Home Ownership  FREE Money (EITC)  Plan for Achieving Self-Support  Scheming & Dreaming

The Value of Education In general, more education means more money, greater employment options and better job security. On average, a college degree is worth an extra $23,000 a year. Consider the following statistics from the U. S. Department of Labor and Census Bureau (2004):  College graduates made an average of $51,554  Those with advanced degrees made $78,093  Adults with a high school diploma made $28,645  High school dropouts averaged $19,169

Project Vision delivers opportunities for youth with disabilities Scholarships, internships, grants, study abroad, summer programs, and more!

Scholarships ScholarshipDisabilities That QualifyAmount Salvatore E. Quinci Foundation Scholarship Hemophilia or another bleeding disorder $2,000 Disabled War Veterans Scholarships Disabled War Veterans$2,500 Elizabeth Nash Foundation (ENF) awards scholarships Cystic Fibrosis $500 - $2,000 Millie Brother Scholarship Children of deaf adults$3,000 Association of Blind Citizens Scholarships Blind Students $1,000 - $2,000

People who graduate from college make about twice as much money as people who only have a high school degree. Young people ages with a degree are employed at much higher rates than people with only a hi-school degree 70% vs. 55% Only about 28% of the population as a whole has graduated from college. However, that number's a lot lower for people with disabilities: just 13%. For Latinos, it's just 12.6%. The jobless rate for college graduates under age 25 has averaged 9.6 percent over the past year; for young high school graduates, the average is 21.6 percent. Median wealth of whites is now 20 times that of black households and 18 times that of Hispanic households, double the already marked disparities that had prevailed in the decades before the recent recession. Only about 1/3 of people with disabilities have jobs. Higher education results in better jobs!
