The winners for this year are Naudia Graham, Madeline Mau, Ilexia Navarro, Alexis McPhail, and Isabelle Nutt.

“As we celebrate our third year of awarding scholarships to our deserving alumni campers, it would not be possible without the generous donors and the community of Avalon,” said Emily Mulhern, the camp supervisor. “The way we can extend the mission of the home through supporting higher education each year proves just how special this organization is. We look forward to continuing our scholarship program for years to come to help support our campers in ways that go beyond the Seven Mile Island.”

Diller Vacation Home for Blind Children at least one summer, prove acceptance to a college, university, or training program, and complete the scholarship application.
