General Information  

The Optical Dispensary will be closed on Tues., Mar. 9 and will reopen on Fri., Mar. 12. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

The Devi Bhargava Memorial Fund was established at MATC through the MATC Foundation. The fund endows two awards: An opportunity grant in the amount of $500 for a graduating student with a disability and a recognition to a staff member who demonstrates special understanding and support for students with disabilities.
Each year we solicit the help of MATC faculty and staff in nominating a student with a disability who either graduated in December or is graduating in Spring who you think has:
- overcome substantial barriers during his/her academic career;
- has worked at being a successful self-advocate;
- has achieved academic success;
- has contributed to an understanding of the issues surrounding disabilities either on a one-on-one basis or with a larger audience.
When nominating someone, we would like you to consider the above factors as well as giving us one or two examples of why you think the student you are nominating best exemplifies the outlined characteristics.
Names of nominees can be sent to: mfayram@matcmadison.edu. The deadline for submission of names is March 12.
Thank you for your help!
