SCHOLARSHIPS
The American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults offers a variety of scholarships to outstanding students each year. The Ezra Davis Memorial Scholarship ($12,000) is given annually to the nation's most outstanding blind college student.
The American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults gives other scholarships to students whose academic excellence is beyond doubt but who would have trouble receiving financial assistance for some other reason.
College is not the only place for a blind or a deaf-blind individual to gain valuable educational experiences. As funds permit, the American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults provides scholarships to assist individuals in furthering their educational or occupational interests outside of the traditional academic setting. Since funds for this program are limited, preference is given to deaf-blind persons. This program can also be used to help pay guides/interpreters for deaf-blind people who wish to attend seminars or other training workshops. When you learn of a blind or deaf-blind person in need of scholarship assistance, contact the executive director.
