Tech for All Sponsors American Council of the Blind’s Scholarship Award

As part of Tech for All’s mission to ensure all lives are enriched by technology, we’re proud to sponsor a new annual scholarship award through the American Council of the Blind’s (ACB) Scholarship Program. The inaugural recipient of the Tech For All – ACB scholarship is Robert Lamm, an undergraduate environmental engineering major at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.

The Tech for All – ACB Award is destined for a student majoring in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) program. Robert Lamm was announced as the first recipient of the award at the American Council of the Blind 2022 National Conference and Convention on July 3, 2022.

Since 1982, ACB has offered educational scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $7,500 for those attending a technical college or as an entering freshman, undergraduate or a graduate student. This program awards students merit scholarships to assist with post-secondary education financial needs such as tuition, fees, room and board and other additional costs associated with adaptive technology. To be eligible for a scholarship, applicants need to be legally blind, maintain a 3.0 GPA, be a full-time student (or a student who works 32 or more hours per week and attends college part-time), and be involved in their school/local community.
