2023 ANITA AND BLAIR MAZIN SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS/ADULTS WITH HEARING LOSS
The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) - Westchester Chapter is pleased to announce we will be awarding three scholarships for high school seniors/adults with hearing loss, to be used toward the pursuit of a college degree or vocational training. Each scholarship will be for $1,000.00.
Applicants must have applied to a college or vocational education program, wear a hearing aid(s) and/or cochlear implants(s), and have a grade point average of 3.0 or better. Financial need is not a consideration. The scholarship is a one-time award.
HLAA-Westchester is presenting these awards for the fourteenth consecutive year. The Anita and Blair Mazin Scholarships are made possible by funds raised from our annual Walk4Hearing event. Walk4Hearing is an annual national project of the Hearing Loss Association of America.
Hearing Loss Association of America is the nation’s leading organization to represent people with hearing loss, their families and friends. HLAA helps people with hearing loss to adjust to hearing loss, educate consumers, manufacturers, and policymakers about communications access; works to eradicate the stigma associated with hearing loss; and endeavors to raise public awareness about having regular hearing screenings. HLAA is a nationwide network of state associations and local chapters dedicated to the welfare and interests of those who cannot hear well but are committed to participating in the hearing world.
