OPENING YOUR EYES: THE VISION COUNCIL SCHOLARSHIP FUND is a new program of the BETTER VISION INSTITUTE, the related educational foundation of THE VISION COUNCIL, and is designed to support high school students in marginalized communities throughout the UNITED STATES who have an interest in pursuing a career in the optical industry. The program will support these selected students through monetary scholarships to optician schools, paid internships and mentorships. The intent of the program is to launch a far-reaching effort that can expand to other segments of the industry.
