The following colleges and universities either currently offer or offered in the past scholarships specifically set aside for twins. In addition to these schools, another suggestion is to contact your state's local Parents of Multiples program. Many state programs have special scholarships for the college-bound twins and multiples of their members. For instance, in New York there are two annual $1000 scholarships awarded to children attending college and one $1000 scholarship awarded to a mother of twins attending a university or college in the Marie Simmons Scholarship Program.

There are also several schools that have really good scholarship deal specifically for twins, triplets and families with super twins. This is just a small list - if you know of other special programs, please let everyone else know by adding the information to this Wiki entry. And remember, just about every university in the country does offer some small family-based grant of anywhere from $500-$2000 in tution fee reductions if a family has more than one member attending a school at the same time. There are restrictions and conditions that must be met so be sure to contact the school's financial aid office for more information.
