A learning disability may create an advantage with the admissions officer looking for diversity, and there are special college scholarships for LD kids. Most I have found so far are between $1,000 - $6,000.
The RICE Foundation (Rewarding Individual Success in Education) offers a scholarship and information benefiting LD students: http://risescholarshipfoundation.org/
Marion Huber Learning Through Listening offers a $6,000 to a students with dyslexia, http://www.learningally.org/About-Us/National-and-Local-Award-Opportunities/108/#ltl
The Novotni Scholarship Fund offers special scholarships up to $5,000 for students with ADD and ADHD:http://031df74.netsolhost.com/Documents/Novotni_Scholarship_Application.pdf
The Anne Ford and Allegra Ford Scholarships offer financial assistance to two graduating seniors with documented learning disabilities (LD) who are pursuing post-secondary education and have the ability to act as role models.
The Smart Student Guide to Financial Aid lists the Anne Ford scholarship and a few others on its website: http://www.finaid.org/otheraid/ld.phtml
The Edge Foundation repeats some of the previously mentioned scholarships: http://www.edgefoundation.org/blog/2011/04/06/college-scholarships-for-adhd-students/
