Helping Hands Initiative Incorporated helps disabled individuals take advantage of higher education for as little to no cost as possible, based upon financial status. Help with forms for scholarships and financial aid are provided, and depends upon the individual needs of each client.

Scholarships are based upon financial need, in many cases, along with academic standards and community service. Financial need is based on income level and the maximum amount of financial assistance needed. Academic Standards include high school grade point average and extra curricular activities. Scholarships for differently abled students as well as minority students are available.

Financial aid includes Pell Grants, subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford Loans, and State assistance. Pell Grants and Stafford Loans can be obtained through the Federal Government by completing a FAFSA form. Pell Grants are given by the government based upon financial need, and in most cases do not have to be paid back. Options are discussed when client needs are evaluated.
