Alliance for Equity of Blind Canadians Scholarship

• Disabilities: Vision Loss and Blindness
• Volunteer Experience (Not Required)

T-Base Communications Scholarships, valued at $1,000 each. They are designed to help students pursue their educational endeavours and are not limited to any one discipline.

Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of:

• Academic performance;
• Community involvement; and
• Overcoming adversity.

While each criterion will contribute in the overall evaluation process, equal weight will not be applied when determining a final score. Rather, each criterion will serve to assist in distinguishing the exceptionalities and strengths among the candidates.

The Student and Education Council Committee has five members. This committee reviews all applications and selects all scholarship recipients.

Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians (AEBC) is a national grassroots, peer support organization that comprises Canadians who are blind, deaf-blind or partially sighted and our supporters from the public at large. We work to ensure we have a voice on all matters affecting our participation in Canada’s mainstream society.

AEBC is committed to changing public perceptions about who we are, which have historically lead to low expectations of our capabilities and have resulted in unacceptable high levels of unemployment.
