Completed applications and supporting documents must be received by March 1, 2007. If you have any questions about the scholarship application guidelines, please call CCLVI at (800)733-2258.
Process
Semi-finalists will be selected to participate in a telephone interview with committee members. Winners will be notified in late spring. Winners are encouraged to attend our annual meeting, which is held in conjunction with the American Council of the Blind National Convention and generally takes place the first week in July.
This program is for graduate students attending one of several colleges and universities which offer a degree in the field of low vision. Applicants need not be visually impaired. Application is made through the school directly.
If your college or university has a program in the field of low vision and is not currently recognized, contact CCLVI so that a questionnaire can be sent to the school to determine if the program qualifies for the provisions of the Carl Foley Scholarship.
