We have wonderful news to share. Modern Optical International, in conjunction with the National Optometric Association (NOA), has established a new scholarship program within Illinois College of Optometry (ICO). The purpose is to encourage, support, and underscore the importance of minority students in the field of optometry.
 In a presentation at the ICO on October 22, 2015 (see photo to the left) , Ken Weissman, President of Modern Optical, awarded the scholarship to its first recipient, Ms. Michelle Lynch. A native of Connecticut, Ms. Lynch dreamed of being an optometrist from a very young age. As her interest in the sciences grew, she identified her career path and successfully enrolled as a first year student at the ICO this fall. Ms. Lynch is also a member of the National Optometric Student Association.
"We are very proud to establish this scholarship at ICO, one of the country's leading optometric institutions," said Ken Weissman. "Our long-standing partnership with the NOA has increased our awareness regarding the need for minority students in this field. Both of our organizations are firm believers in the power of education and the importance of delivering quality vision care services to minority communities. We are proud to commit our resources to the professional advancement of minority students at ICO."
