[Nfbnet-members-list] College freshmen: Last chance to apply for Aira's back-to-school program

[Danielsen, Chris]

Dear Students:



Today is the last day that you can apply for a chance to start your 
college adventure with groundbreaking new technology. The National 
Federation of the Blind is partnering with <https://aira.io/>Aira, a 
company that uses smart glass technology, live agents, and artificial 
intelligence to assist blind people in understanding and navigating 
their environment. You might use it to help you explore your college 
campus and new community, for example.



Through a partnership with Aira's Back to School Program, selected 
blind college freshmen can receive a free nine-month subscription to 
four hundred minutes of Aira services, as well as onboard training, 
data, and the wearable glasses.



In order to apply for this opportunity:
    * You must be legally blind
    * You must be beginning college as a first year student in the 
fall of 2017



To be considered for one of these subscriptions, please complete this 
<https://aira.io/>short application online by Tuesday, August 15, 2017.



The National Federation of the Blind is dedicated to helping all 
blind people, including blind students, live the lives they want. An 
equal education is critical to success, and students play a key role 
in creating a bright future for blind Americans. We are happy to 
partner with Aira in this exciting opportunity.



Good luck, and all our best for the new school year!



Sincerely,
The National Federation of the Blind Communications Team
