TDI continued its annual Communication Access Scholarship Program into its second year. The scholarship program is designed to encourage deaf and hard of hearing students to innovate and bring forth ideas for addressing the biggest communication access challenges that the community faces.
TDI’s scholarship program is made possible by four telecommunications relay providers. “TDI is deeply appreciative the scholarship’s supporters- Ultratec, Sorenson Communications, ZVRS/Purple, and Hamilton Relay. We look forward to seeing the accessibly breakthroughs the next generation will create” said Eric Kaika, TDI Chief Executive Officer.
