Bill Mattingly Memorial Scholarship
To encourage emerging professionals in the field with a passion for low vision, as well as to honor Bill's memory, Mattingly Low Vision provides a $2500 and $1000 scholarship annually to either an ophthalmology resident or an optometry student or resident with a demonstrated interest in the field. A committee of low-vision faculty members and doctors assist with reviewing applications in early Spring and winners are announced each March. The Paso Del Norte Community Foundation partners with Mattingly Low Vision to disburse the funds and manage any donations made to the scholarship fund. If you have any questions about the scholarship, please contact Julie Mattingly at julie@mattinglylowvision.com or call 1-888-642-0842 ext. 4.
The scholarship was established in 2016 and continues to highlight bright stars in the field of low vision. Our application cycle runs from November to mid-January; applications are submitted through the Going Merry platform.
