Greetings,
We wanted to remind everyone that NBPCB establish two memorial scholarships
to honor our friends and colleagues, Arlene Hill and Darick Williamson.
Arlene Hill Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship is intended for individuals who are seeking certification
to teach Structured Discovery cane travel through the NBPCB apprenticeship
program at an approved training center. This scholarship will be awarded to
a person who exemplifies the traits of Arlene Hill-namely a deep-seated
passion for teaching the skills of cane travel to blind people. This
scholarship is intended for individuals who are pursuing the apprenticeship
route-therefore, no college degree is required. The amount and frequency of
the scholarship will be determined by the NBPCB board annually, and only at
such times as a worthy candidate is identified.
Donations may be made online here:
