Hi Christine:

I don’t know the answer to the question you aske Jorge, but I wanted to take time to let you know I am so happy to hear you will be attending the Louisiana Center. I believe while at the center you will truly be able to learn, and take charge of all that is possible for you to accomplish as a strong, capable blind woman. I can’t wait for you to report back to our affiliate about all that you have gained from your experience.

Good evening Jorge!

 

Did the topic of including individuals that are attending national training centers, get brought up? I have been accepted to the Louisiana Center for the Blind and I am planning to start the 9 month intensive program in October. Can I apply for this scholarship? Please let me know. 

 

Thanks!
