Lime Connect Pathways Scholarship For Students With Disabilities
Best fit for
Disabled students (any disability category) pursuing professional-track majors who want to enter Lime's corporate-pipeline ecosystem. Particularly strong fit if you'd be a competitive intern candidate at one of Lime's partner companies.
What they actually look for
Lime Connect is the TOP scholarship-and-recruitment pipeline for students with disabilities going into corporate careers. Pathways Scholarship pays $5,000-$10,000 + opens the door to Lime's corporate partner network: Google, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Bank of America, EY, PwC, BMO, Lockheed, and 50+ others. Past winners report being recruited directly to internship pipelines at these partners. The scholarship is the on-ramp, not the destination.
What you'll need
- Self-identify as a student with a disability (broadly defined — physical, cognitive, learning, mental health, chronic illness)
- Currently enrolled in OR planning to attend an accredited US/Canadian 4-year college
- Plan to study STEM, business, marketing, finance, HR, sales, or related career-track major
- Essays on disability experience + career interests + leadership
- One recommendation
- Resume + transcript
When to start
Application opens in spring, closes mid-summer (typically June). Awards announced late summer. Lime also runs separate corporate-partner-named scholarships (Google, BMO, Goldman) on different timelines — apply to those separately.
Watch out for
Lime Connect requires you to register on their platform first (limeconnect.com) — the scholarship application is gated behind member registration. Register in early spring so you're set up when applications open. Also: 'disability' is broadly self-defined here. Mental health conditions, chronic illnesses, learning disabilities, and 'invisible' disabilities all qualify — don't self-screen out.
