We are looking for blind students who can still benefit from the Back to School awards program from AIRA and AT&T. I know that our Nation Association of Blind Students President, Katherine Webster, has engaged around this project. I am currently serving as Chairman of our NFB AIRA Boosters Committee. I have been consulting with their team from a programmatical and consumer perspective. I was happy to see that there were still some spaces available for blind students to take advantage of the AIRA AT&T scholarship. I think this would be an empowering experience for all college students. And, I note that they have opened up the program beyond Freshman. Check out the info below from AIRA and forward to all you think might benefit from the program. I wish I was a student. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Aira Back to School Program for Blind and Low Vision College Freshman in partnership with AT&T- 2017<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>In the body of this letter, please find details on the Back to School Program. Aira is committed to our mission of extending instant access to information for blind and low-vision people through an innovative fusion of technology with a human agent in the loop. Our goal is to ensure that our users share an elevated access to real-time information about one’s surroundings and environment, even when those surroundings might be highly dynamic. No environment is perhaps more dynamic for students than a college campus, and no experience so daunting as entering, departing or functioning in the campus mainstream on a daily basis. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>In keeping with our mission, we want to make those transitions as seamless as possible by ensuring that students have ready and real-time access to information that is occurring or developing around them. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Purpose of Program: The Back to School Program will select a number of blind or low vision students who are currently enrolled in college or university .<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Each student will be given a "Freshman Year" subscription to the Aira service powered by AT&T that will allow them to access a remote agent anytime needed during this important transition year. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Eligibility Requirements Students currently enrolled in a university/college program are eligible. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>How to Win? Submit Application: (aira.io/students) OR call 619-993-0002.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Why Participate? College students typically face challenges in the early stages of the fast-moving environment of higher education or campus life. Access to visual and environmental information whenever and wherever they need it can significantly alleviate these challenges and enhance the student life experience. Learning of such experiences and how you deal with them helps Aira further improve the capabilities of its platform for you and other students. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Contacts: Aira: Gelena Correia, Email: gelena.correia@aira.io<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div id=Signature><div id=divtagdefaultwrapper><p class=xmsonormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#212121'>At Your Service,</span><span style='color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=xmsonormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#212121'> <img width=186 height=42 style='width:1.9375in;height:.4375in' id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:0dd58fb9-c334-4129-b441-b842aa21d13d" alt="1514937111243_signature"></span><span style='color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=xmsonormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#212121'><img width=278 height=93 style='width:2.8958in;height:.9687in' id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:c7a6711e-657d-4a4d-a859-3d6d3322db39" alt="1514937325636_logo.jpg"></span><span style='color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=xmsonormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#212121'>Office: 1-866-543-6808</span></b><span style='color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=xmsonormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#212121'>Cell: (303)929-2369</span></b><span style='color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=xmsonormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#212121'>Fax: (719)527-0129</span></b><span style='color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=xmsonormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#212121'><a href="http://www.worleyenterprises.com/" target="_blank"><span style='color:windowtext'>www.worleyenterprises.com</span></a></span></b><span style='color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
