The Need for The SEE THE
FUTURE Fund:
Visually impaired and blind students throughout the state of Colorado
are faced with unique challenges in life. Many students find it
difficult to "see their future". Unfortunately, many end up on
federal programs, unable to hold down jobs, or are underemployed.
Currently, the unemployment rate in Colorado is 70-80% for legally blind
individuals.
The Mission of The SEE THE FUTURE Fund:
To provide financial assistance to visually impaired and blind students,
who are residents of Colorado. This assistance is to encourage and
support the pursuit of higher education, which will enhance both career
and personal success.
All administration of the Fund is volunteer and your contribution will
go directly into Year 2009 scholarships! Please help give visually
impaired and blind students an educational foundation to build on for
the rest of their lives. Thank You!
