§7501 Establishment of Scholarship Program; Purpose

Summary

The Secretary must set up a scholarship program, if money is available, to give money to people who are accepted or enrolled in a degree or certificate program in visual impairment, orientation and mobility, or both, at an accredited school in a State, and who sign the agreement described in section 7504. The goal is to increase the number of qualified blind rehabilitation specialists for the Department and the Nation. The Secretary must tell schools across the United States about the scholarships, especially colleges with many Hispanic students and Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
