You are right Subramani. However, for VI students who are currently pursuing their under graduate / graduate studies in the United states have few scholarships available in the United states itself. Most often, these scholarship selection criteria do not expect you to hold American citizenship or proof for permenant residence. Therefore, all international students are eligible to apply. Some of the scholarships that are available for VI students pursuing their higher education in US are: National Federation of the Blind scholarship American Council of the Blind Scholarship American Blind Citizen Scholarship and there is only one scholarship available for international students from American Foundation for the Blind called "Ferdinand Torus scholarship. In addition, NFB and ACB have their own state chapters and will be administering their own scholarship programs and again, these generous and magnanimous folks do not use citizenship as a selection criteria. I think "Vasudeva Kudumpakam" works very well here. Thanking You All.
