Financial Assistance Grant Application
Families are invited to request up to $1,000 of Financial Assistance which can be used for medical assistance, therapy, equipment, and more. SBSTL will notify you as soon as possible based on the date the request is received and when the decision of the grant committee has been made. Financial Assistance is limited and is offered on a first come, first served basis, annually.
When requesting funding that relates to a vehicle, requests will only be considered for necessary adaptions to transport the individual with Spina bifida and not for the vehicle cost itself.
The $1,000 is an annual limit per individual for all 3 Grants (activity, educational, and financial), i.e. an individual in the same calendar year cannot receive a $1,000 Activity Scholarship and a $1,000 Financial Scholarship.
NOTE: In 2025, the annual amount an individual with Spina Bifida can receive from combined grant and scholarship funds cannot exceed $1,000. You MUST submit a new application for each monetary amount requested. In order to receive reimbursement, a paid receipt must be submitted. Otherwise, a bill must be submitted and payment will be made directly to the provider.
