RSA Scholars

For students receiving funding through RSA, there are three potential internship sites to choose from:

1.  Vocational Rehabilitation (OVRS)

2. Oregon Commission for the Blind (OCB)

The process for applying to each site will be noted by early fall term of the second year. There will be several OVRS offices to choose from in the Portland area. Students will have a chance to meet with branch managers and/or supervisors prior to accepting an internship offer. 

All this being said, I have received exceptions from the RSA Grant Officer for a few private vocational rehabilitation offices in the Portland area. If you already have an existing relationship with one of those agencies and are interested in completing your RSA internship there, please get in touch with me ASAP.
