National Vision, Inc., the nation’s second largest optical retailer providing quality, affordable eye care and eyewear, announced today that its annual scholarship program is open for entries, providing eligible optometry students with a chance to win up to $7,500.

Entrants are also challenged to address how they plan to play a role in helping children receive the vital care they need, regardless of their financial situation.
“It’s crucial that the next generation of optometrists is committed to making eye care accessible to children,” said Alex Smith, Vice President, Clinical Services and Development at National Vision. “Healthy vision is vital to a child’s success and happiness both in and out of the classroom, and optometrists have the power to help all children thrive through quality eye care. Our mission is rooted in ensuring patients from all financial backgrounds can get the care they need, and we look forward to hearing how the best and brightest optometry students plan to join us in these efforts.”

Within the written or short video essays, students are encouraged to share any projects or programs they have been involved with during their education that have focused on the area of children’s eye care.
