Aira's back-to-school program

 


Dear Students:

 

Today is the last day that you can apply for a chance to start your college
adventure with groundbreaking new technology. The National Federation of the
Blind is partnering with Aira <https://aira.io/> , a company that uses smart
glass technology, live agents, and artificial intelligence to assist blind
people in understanding and navigating their environment. You might use it
to help you explore your college campus and new community, for example.

 

Through a partnership with Aira's Back to School Program, selected blind
college freshmen can receive a free nine-month subscription to four hundred
minutes of Aira services, as well as onboard training, data, and the
wearable glasses.

 

In order to apply for this opportunity: 

*	You must be legally blind 
*	You must be beginning college as a first year student in the fall of
2017 


 

To be considered for one of these subscriptions, please complete this short
application online <https://aira.io/>  by Tuesday, August 15, 2017.

 

The National Federation of the Blind is dedicated to helping all blind
people, including blind students, live the lives they want. An equal
education is critical to success, and students play a key role in creating a
bright future for blind Americans. We are happy to partner with Aira in this
exciting opportunity.

 

Good luck, and all our best for the new school year!

 

Sincerely,
The National Federation of the Blind Communications Team
