Supported by the Transitions Healthy Sight for Life Fund, the Transitions Students of Vision scholarship program supports the next generation of opticians, optometrists and paraoptometrists.
Awarded annually, projects are judged in three categories: Activity/Event, Multi-media and Other. Top category winners receive $1,000; additional winners receive $500. The top five Opticianry students will also win a trip to the ABO-NCLE National Conference to be featured in the poster session.
