American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults

Scholarship Name: Kenneth Jernigan Scholarship
Description: Among the scholarships available to legally blind children, the Kenneth Jernigan Scholarship offer through the American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults stands out not only for it’s larger-than-average award, but for the pioneer for whom it is named.

The Kenneth Jernigan scholarship is offered to one student per year who is legally blind (as defined by the federal statute) and has a similar commitment to advocacy for the blind as did Kenneth Jernigan.
