Students at Southwestern Community College have a new opportunity to receive full tuition coverage with the Opening Your Eyes Scholarship (OYES) funded by The Vision Council through the SCC Foundation.
The $6,000 full-ride scholarship will be given annually to qualifying students who are pursuing a degree in Opticianry, one of only two programs in the state that prepares students to adapt and fit corrective eyewear.
“The Southwestern Community College Foundation is proud to offer this scholarship opportunity for our students,” said Evan Hatch, said SCC’s Executive Director for Institutional Advancement. “We're grateful to the Vision Council for their generous contribution to SCC student success. Their generous annual gift will help make our student's dreams come true.”
