Applications Are Still Being Accepted

The following is forwarded at the request of CBVI Executive Director,
Vito DeSantis:

Dear Mr. DeSantis: 

My name is Nancy O'Connell and I am part of the team that developed
eSight Careers Network, the online community addressing disability
employment issues, which is located at http://www.eSight.org

I am writing to you today specifically to ask for your help.  Would you
please inform eligible students that Lighthouse International is still
accepting applications for our
2009 Scholarship and Career Awards.

There are three categories and each carries a $5,000 prize:

  - College-Bound,

  - Undergraduate, and

  - Graduate

A total of five Scholarships will be awarded across those three
categories. The criteria for eligibility are that applicants:

 - Must be legally blind (i.e., have a best corrected
   visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye,
   and/or a visual field of less than 20 degrees in the
   better eye).

 - Must be US citizens, and reside and attend an
   accredited school in any of the following states:
   CT, DE, FL, GA, MA, MD, ME, NC, NH, NJ, NY,
   PA, RI, SC, VA, WV and VT, or Washington, DC.

Proof of citizenship will be required of all winners.

Scholarships are based on academic and personal achievements and
candidates are not required to demonstrate financial need.

Previous winners (in any category) of Lighthouse Scholarships, current
Lighthouse employees and members of their immediate families are
ineligible.

You can learn more about these scholarships, which reward excellence,
recognize accomplishments and help students who are blind or partially
sighted achieve their career goals at 

http://www.lighthouse.org/sca

If you have any questions regarding the Scholarship and Career Awards
program, please e-mail us at sca at lighthouse.org

Please ask your students to specify that they learned about this
opportunity from eSight Careers Network.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards, 

Nancy
