Dear friends/colleagues,
I thought about you when I received the information about the
Space Camp for Interested Visually Impaired Students (SCIVIS)
.
Please consider to share the information below among your networks.
Funding for tuition and airfare is provided. Some students/families might
be interested, and benefit taking this opportunity.
Thank you so much in advance,
Jacque
