Established in February 2007, the lnterpretek Endowed Scholarship Fund provides academic scholarships annually to students enrolled in the National Technical Institute for the Deaf and studying in the interpreter training program within the American Sign Language and Interpreting Education Department.
lnterpretek has a simple philosophy to always send the best interpreters available. Today, the company continues to fulfill its original purpose: To promote superior communication access for consumers of sign language interpreting services to clients anywhere in the nation. lnterpretek values people and community involvement which is why the company has created this scholarship fund.
Selection of this scholarship will be based on the recipient’s enrollment in NTID and studying within the interpreting program. First preference will be given to those students who demonstrate financial need. Candidates meeting the criteria are reviewed and selected by NTID’s Office for the President and NTID’s Office of Financial Aid. NTID will administer the awards to men & women, veterans, and persons with disabilities, individuals of any race, creed, religion, color, national ethnic origin, sexual orientation, age or marital status, in compliance with all appropriate legislation.
