California State University-Fullerton (out-of-state)

Award Amount: 46 scholarships of $10,000 each will be awarded for the 2024-2025 academic year. The Dale M. Schoettler Scholarship for Visually Impaired Students was established in 1991 by Mr. Schoettler, a successful businessman from Mountain View, California, who was blind for the last eight years of his life. His generosity has provided financial assistance to CSU students with visual impairments, helping them pursue their academic goals. Applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale and must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.8 during the academic year in which the award is received. Applicants must be currently enrolled in 6.1 units or more as a CSU undergraduate or graduate student in any major field and must remain enrolled in 6.1 units or more during the academic year in which the award is received. Applicants must have a visual disability. A visual disability is defined by the CSU as blindness or partial sight to the degree that it impedes the educational process and may necessitate accommodations, support services, or programs. The CSU Foundation will confirm applicants are registered with their campus Disability Support Services offices with a visual limitation.
