HumanWare US is proud to launch the 2011
Braille Literacy Scholarship Program

Every parent wants the best for their child and braille literacy is fundamental to a blind child's success. Starting blind children on the road to literacy as early as they are able and choosing the right tools is key to their success.


By using modern and
appropriate tools:
Very young children can start scribbling with dots, should be having fun and begin to learn through experimentation and play.
Parents can become actively involved in their child's literacy development.
Appropriate expectations for children can result from giving them independence to learn and explore.

The Mountbatten Learning
System Award
A Mountbatten Learning System and all associated software and accessories will be awarded to one child in the United States.
