THE PHYLLIS COTTLE SCHOLARSHIP FOR THE VISUALLY CHALLENGED
The Akron Blind Center, “The Place Where Good Happens”, is proud to introduce Northeast Ohio’s first ever scholarship fund specifically for the visually challenged. Adaptive technology and educational materials are a large expense in addition to the usual costs of education.
This annually presented award is to promote higher education for Summit County’s visually challenged students. Our scholarship fund began with donations from the members of the Akron Blind Center when they realized how hard our community’s visually challenged students were striving toward an accomplished future.
With this program in mind, we would be grateful for any contribution to this unique and invaluable opportunity. Please, help the Akron Blind Center in the realization of dreams for the visually challenged students in our area.
