WCB Scholarships

By providing financial support to qualified legally blind Washington residents, Washington Council of the Blind:

  • supports their personal growth and realization of educational goals
  • increases the visibility of legally blind students on campuses
  • promotes the development of future leaders in our communities

Scholars continue to make a difference

Did you know that WCB has awarded more than $93,000 to scholarship winners in just the last 5 years?  Since 2019, twenty eight individuals have applied for and received scholarship awards.  Since our scholarship endowment was created in 1999, WCB has been committed to supporting blind and low vision Washingtonians in their educational aspirations.

2024 Washington Council of the Blind Scholarships

The application process is complete for this year and the submissions and supporting documents are being reviewed by the WCB Scholarship Committee.  After evaluations and award determinations, the 2024 WCB Scholarship Award recipients will be presented at the convention banquet.
