HOLMAN PRIZE APPLICATION
Information Session
DEADLINE: March 14
What is the Holman Prize?
The LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco believes whole-heartedly in encouraging and nurturing the “can-do” attitude within the blind community. Reinforcing independence and confidence is our mission. In 2017, they launched the Holman Prize which awards three blue-sky thinkers who are blind or have low vision up to $25,000 to realize a big idea. It was named for James Holman, a prolific blind world traveler of the 19th century – Imagine how traveling independently back then must have been for a blind person. And that’s what the Holman Prize asks of you, to imagine, and dream big!
