2022 Mouse Hole Scholarships
sponsored by Blind Mice Member Purchases

The Mouse Hole Scholarship Program began as a dream in 2000. It became a reality in 2004 with the first scholarships being awarded to students. The program is funded by purchases at Blind Mice Mega Mall and private donations! The number of awards and the amount of each scholarship varies each year. Our goal is to offer more and larger scholarships every successive year!
This depends upon the income generated by these sources. Every time you make a purchase at Blind Mice Mega Mall the Scholarship Fund grows!

Blind Mice Inc, through your purchases, donations from companies, and contributions by friends of the Mice, has generated more than $75,000 for scholarships since 2004! Thank You! The goal for the program is to be able to provide a scholarship to every student that applies!

The scholarships are open to visually impaired students and also to sighted students with visually impaired parents. Let's all work together to make life better for everyone!
