Hello All:

My name is Dan Oates and I was given your name by Sara Vowell who coordinates the Space Camp Ambassadors program.  I coordinate a program for the blind and visually impaired students called Space Camp for Interested Visually Impaired Students (SCIVIS), which will be held this year from Sept. 23-28, 2017.   We have funding for students through two international programs where we can provide both tuition and airfare.  These programs are:

1.  St. Louis Lighthouse Visions Scholarship – this is for students both U. S. and international students who have a culturally unique background compared to students in the St. Louis area of the U. S.  Obviously, most international students would qualify.

2.  Northrop-Grumman Scholarship – this is for students in certain geographical areas of the U. S. and the world.  Australia, the UAE, and the U. K. among some urban areas of the U. S. are eligible.

Deadlines have passed on both programs and we still have money left over.  We are looking for students who can speak and understand the English language as well as function independently as a blind or visually impaired child during their daily routine. 

Please contact those you may know or can connect with.  Our website is:  http://www.scivis.org.  The details of the scholarships are listed there.  Please contact me if you have any questions.  Thank you in advance for any efforts you will put forth on our behalf.
