Posted

The Ocean State Center for Independent Living (OSCIL) is accepting applications for the 2020 Catherine T. Murray Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship was established in 1995 by Catherine, who was a long-time educator and also a board member and valued volunteer at the Ocean State Center for Independent Living. Her wish was to support the philosophy and spirit of OSCIL through a scholarship that would facilitate access to education for persons having disability.

This can include enrollment in an academic, trade, or vocational program. This scholarship can be used toward the attainment of assistive/adaptive equipment or devices to access such

educational opportunity as well as for other educational expenses. Preference is based on career goals, merit and economic need.
