Rachel Grider, a student at California State University, Stanislaus, has been 
named recipient of the Dale Schoettler Scholarship for Visually Impaired 
Students. The $5,500 scholarship is awarded to talented students by the CSU 
Foundation.

The freshman loves music so much that she jumped at the opportunity to play the 
flute in a band that performs during traditional Portuguese bullfights. As a 
multi-talented music student at Modesto's Downey High School, she played the 
flute in the marching band. That Grider has been blind since birth has not 
stopped her from such pursuits.

"I was really excited about the full-ride scholarship, because I might not have 
been able to go to college without it," says Ms. Grider. "I love music because 
it's a way of expressing your emotions in a way that you can't do by talking. 
For me, it's a deeper form of communication; kind of like painting a picture."
