Good Afternoon:

We are approaching  the deadline on this fabulous opportunity for legally blind students. 

Please note, to be eligible, the students must be current OVR consumers.

Ashley, could you post to NFB Kentucky FB when you have a chance?

Thanks,

Todd

The Office of Vocational Rehabilitation is accepting applications for Coca-Cola Merit Scholarships through June 15th.

The Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR), in partnership with Coca-Cola, will be awarding four $5,000 merit scholarships for entering freshmen, undergraduate and graduate students, who will be enrolled in an accredited college or technical program for Fall 2024. OVR, who administers the scholarship program, will award the scholarships to four consumers who are legally blind, to help with educational financial needs such as tuition, fees, room and board and assistive technology. 

To be eligible to compete for a scholarship, applicants must be an OVR consumer with an IPE, be legally blind, have maintained at least a 2.75 GPA, and be enrolled as a full-time student in an accredited educational program for the 2023-24 school year. Students must submit their application and all required materials by June 15th.

For more information about the scholarship program, and to obtain an application, please visit Coca-Cola Office of Vocational Rehabilitation Scholarship - Kentucky Career Center <https://kcc.ky.gov/Vocational-Rehabilitation/seeking-services/Blind-Services/Coca-Cola%20Scholarship/Pages/default.aspx>
