Lighthouse Guild Scholarship Program

Description

We believe that nothing should stop people who are blind or visually impaired from pursuing higher education, especially the cost. To help, we offer scholarships for students with vision loss who are newly transitioning to college or graduate education. Each year, we offer scholarships for outstanding current high school students who are legally blind from across the United States. We also provide an annual scholarship to at least one qualifying graduate student (Master's degree, PhD, MD, JD, or other post-baccalaureate degree). Applicants must provide proof of legal blindness. Verification should be in the form of a statement from a state rehabilitation agency, an ophthalmologist, or an optometrist. Applicants must also include three letters of recommendation. Two letters should attest to the applicant's academic skills. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
