K-12 Student of the Month Program
Freedom Scientific’s Student of the Month Program is excited to feature K-12 students in the U.S. who are blind or low vision and have shown a conscientious commitment to their educational objectives.
Nominees must be students who are blind or low vision and who use Freedom Scientific technology in pursuit of educational goals.
A student can either self-nominate or be nominated by someone else. Any student under the age of 18 must have parental consent to participate. Every month a student will be selected as the Freedom Scientific Student of the Month.
To accept the award, the student must provide a short video that includes:
- First name
- One way they use Freedom Scientific technology for school
- Their favorite thing about the software or device
The selected Freedom Scientific Student of the Month will receive a $300 Amazon gift card, and a five-year license of JAWS, ZoomText, or Fusion. Also, their story will be featured by Freedom Scientific on our blog and social media: Twitter, Facebook, Mastodon, and Instagram.
In partnership with Computers for the Blind, each winner is eligible to receive a free, refurbished computer along with a free Home Annual license of JAWS or ZoomText. Together, Freedom Scientific and Computers for the Blind are empowering independence and bridging the digital divide.
