Braille Literacy Canada established the Edie Mourre Scholarship Program in 2008 to provide financial support for those seeking certification as a transcriber or proofreader of braille.  The scholarship has been offered annually since that time, as funds have become available. 

We have an exciting opportunity this year to make this a permanent and self-sustaining program, but we need your help to make it happen!  Between now and November 30, 2018, every dollar donated to BLC in support of the Edie Mourre Scholarship Program will be matched by a third-party donor (up to $6,500). That means that if BLC raises $6,500 by November 30th, we will actually have raised $13,000.

With $13,000 in hand, we will establish a permanent endowment fund to guarantee that the Edie Mourre Scholarship will be awarded to at least one deserving applicant each and every year.  As the fund grows through future contributions, more awards will be granted. Every donation, of any size, will help us to reach this goal.
