Marion Huber Learning Through Listening Awards gives scholarships to 6 high school students each year who have learning disabilities. Candidates must be graduating members of a public, private, or home school in the United States or its territories, including U.S. military installations.
Applicants must have a learning disability that is defined as a neurological disorder that affects a person’s ability to receive, process, store and/or respond to information, and which affects the person’s ability to read standard print. Candidates may use scholarships at either a two- or four-year college or vocational school.
The purpose of the scholarship is to recognize high school seniors with learning disabilities for their academic achievement, outstanding leadership, and service to others. Learning Ally has been awarding scholarships since 1991.
Learning Ally, formerly known as Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic (RFB&D), is a non-profit volunteer national organization that was founded in 1948 and is headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, in the United States. It produces and maintains a library of educational accessible audio books for people who cannot effectively read standard print because of visual impairment, dyslexia, or other disabilities.
The deadline for this scholarship is usually in MARCH of each year, and the award amount is usually $2,000 - $6,000.
