Ginny nad Yus There might not be a college for only visual impaired people. I did know of a childhood friend who is visual impaired and will be finishing his PhD at the University of South Carolina, Columbia this August. He did attended Gardner- Webb University for Under Graduate and Master and after finishing his master he proceeds for a PhD. Gardner-Webb University had a department for Deaf and Visual impaired called the NOEL Program. There is a lot of Scholarship at this department. Mamadi Corra, who is finishing his PhD still have contact with Gardner-Webb University. I think it will be helpful if they can get it touch. He did tell me the application process is the same for regular admission but their department had a lot to give. He will be happy to work him through.
