We’re pleased to announce this year’s Council Scholarship recipients!
Each year, we award $2,000 scholarships to several students from around the state who are blind or low vision and will be enrolled in post-secondary education in the fall. Past recipients have used the scholarship funds in a variety of ways to help fuel their college experience. In addition to standard costs like tuition, books and housing, students who are blind or low vision incur a variety of additional expenses, such as adaptive devices and access technology. Transportation barriers force many students to use more expensive alternatives to get around. Many recipients have told us the scholarship enabled them to spend fewer hours working in a part-time job and devote more time to their studies.
This year’s recipients are:
