Learning Ally Scholarship Winners to Tell Stories on Capitol Hill

Learning Ally National Achievement Awards

Learning Ally is bringing the top six winners of this years National Achievement Awards to Washington, DC to kick off its annual Record-a-Thon week, which begins Monday, February 27.

The students will share their stories in a New American Alliance (NAA) roundtable, The Impact of Access, on that morning on Capitol Hill, and their awards (each will receive a $6,000 scholarship) at an evening ceremony at the Washington Court Hotel.

The awards recognize students who are blind, visually impaired, or learning disabled who demonstrate academic excellence, community leadership, and a spirit of giving back to others.

During Record-A-Thon week, Learning Ally volunteers fill its national network of 19 recording studios to 100% capacity to increase production of digital audio textbooks and other accessible content for the students and schools they serve.
