There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.\n\nDo a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/lion's club etc. Go to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

Look locally for scholarships through non-profits which are generally smaller but achievable.  Check your university departments updates board.  Ask professors.  Meet with a financial aid counselor.  Also if you have an unusual situation such as financial need, disadvantaged background (illness, minority status, first generation college student, left handed)  you can just google "cancer and scholarship".  You can find interesting pages that way.  Look into summer programs also...like NSF REU (google it)programs if you are a US citizen they pay great but are competitive.  Good luck

There is no cure for nystagmus, which is often a life-long condition. Some types of nystagmus improve throughout childhood, and visual acuity may improve with the use of prism optical devices, specialty lenses and, in some cases, muscle surgery.

no, but it's never too early to start researching.  Maybe there are clubs that offer scholarships and you could join those now so when the time comes, you are ready to apply for that scholarship.

I would contact your ophthamologist or The Lions Club, one of them should be able to direct you to a support groups to meet your needs.  My grampa used to volunteer with the Lions in the Lillian/ Elberta, AL area doing that kind of thing so it sound be the same in Pensacola.  However, if neither of those turn up anything contact a school for the deaf and blind they will usually have support groups affliated with them.

There are lots of scholarships available all over the place.  Some are based on academic achievement and some are based on need.\n\nI cannot get any kind of scholarship because I have no academic achievement and no need.  You might have better luck.\n\nI am an idiot and people call me a moron, and that might have something to do with it too.

Here is the link for the Lion's club http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/content/about_index.shtml\nOn the home page, go to VISION PROGRAMS.\n\nCall the St. Vincent de Paul society at your nearest Catholic Church. Not all of them are helpful, but some are.\n\nI believe that the Vision Works chain has some kind of program. I am not sure. \n\nAsk your caseworker for Medicaid/Medicare to tell you where EXACTLY you can find the rule that they do not help with glasses. You want the publication, page number and paragraph. Sometimes they don't know, sometimes they don't care. I too, am on disability. \n\nCall the Ministerial Associaton for your city. They may know of a source.\n\nI hope one, or a comination of these things helps you.

Try Fastweb.com for scholarships. Then, re-take an English or English writing class because if you try to communicate by email/letter with professors and you can't spell or punctuate, there's no way they'll ever take you seriously!! Or find someone to proofread everything before you submit it.\nGood luck!

Depends on what state you live in but so many have assistance for the blind or going blind. Research it or have someone look up the phone numbers for you. They often help with items you need to help you adjust. (tapping canes, large number books or clocks, assistance dogs, and much much more. For free.) They pay for your doctor's appointments that have to do with your eyes. They offer classes on how to live in your own household going blind. It is a school I think that goes on for a month or so. They teach you to be very independent. They reteach you how to cook and clean and all that stuff. Come to your house and adjust anything from tables to cooking utensils to help you get around better. So you don't have to rely on others. They will even help you get a job. It is a bit of a process with all the paperwork and phone calls but very worth it because they pay for everything. So take advantage of it because you need it and they are more than happy to help you. I live in Texas and that is what the program here offers. Hope yours is just as good. Much luck hun.

Try the Lions Club in your area or The Department of the Blind.  The Knight's Templar also will help sometimes.  Also, the Workforce Development Force will sometimes help so the person can become employable again.  Many of the universities will help also.  \n\nI hope this helps.

Check with the school district where you are. Sometimes they will give scholarships to people who are willing to work in that district for awhile.  Or check with the special ed department at your university they sometimes get government grants to encourage people to study special education.
