Crashing Through Award
Please forward to interested parties.
A portion of every Sendero GPS sale will go into an annual
scholarship fund to be awarded to a student with the most impressive
travel adventure for the year. We will begin accepting applications
September 1, 2008 with a $2500 scholarship for one student. The
scholarship will be announced in mid March.
Interested parties should think about adventure travel already taken
in 2008 or about future possibilities. Here is what we will be looking for.
The focus is on independent travel. In other words, a cruise would
not be rated highly in terms of independence. Travel with sighted
friends, colleagues or family is fine as long as the blind student is
demonstrating independent travel, a leader rather than a follower.
We want to hear how the student's orientation and mobility tools and
techniques are used. It doesn't matter if one is using a cane or a
dog but more about what one is doing, sailing, hiking, exploring a
big city and the like. Use of GPS is not required but will weigh in
the applicants favor if used.
Independence, innovation and uniqueness are the qualities we will be
looking for when we evaluate applications. Documenting the travel
through photos and/or audio recordings will be very helpful. This
documentation along with the written travel story will be the bulk of
the scholarship submission. More details about the application will
be published by early September. Recommendation letters will be
requested. The funds can be used for, school, technology, travel or
whatever the winner chooses.
Please spread the word to other students and teachers so photos,
audio and a journal can be captured on any upcoming trips. If a trip
isn't planned before the February 2009 deadline, start planning for
next summer.
