Vision Australia will award Further Education Bursaries in 2014 to a select number of students who are blind or have low vision. Applications are now being taken for the 2014 awards.
These Bursaries provide adaptive technology to help ensure that these students can fully participate and succeed in their chosen studies. They aim to assist clients who would not otherwise be able to buy adaptive technology, thus increasing their ability to participate in further education.
Assistive technology is software and hardware that enables people who are blind or have low vision to access reading material in a format of their choice, whether this is audio, large print, braille or electronic information. This technology helps students to read course material, conduct research and secure employment.
