March 16, 2023 — The Opening Your Eyes Scholarship, which is funded by members and supporters of The Vision Council (TVC), has granted Amaya Moore $6,000 per year as well as reimbursement of certification and state exam fees.
Created by TVC in 2021, the scholarship is available to any student enrolled full-time in an opticianry program at partner schools within the National Federation of Opticianry Schools.
“I’ve been interested in a career in opticianry since middle school,” says Moore. “This scholarship will allow me to pursue my dream and help others who need eyewear correction in Georgia.”
Moore presented her future career path in opticianry at her eighth-grade graduation, as she felt she could relate to people needing eyewear correction as a glasses wearer herself.
In 2021, Moore graduated with honors and 30 college credits from Valdosta Early College Academy. She plans to become licensed in both Georgia and Florida.
“Congratulations to Amaya on being selected by Wiregrass [Georgia Technical College] to receive the Opening Your Eyes Scholarship,” says Ashley Mills, CEO of TVC. “This industry is filled with people dedicated to helping people look and feel their best and we welcome you.”
