The Mouse Hole Scholarship Program
sponsored by Blind Mice Mart

Welcome to a dream come true! The Mouse Hole Scholarship Program began as a dream in 2000. It became a reality in 2004 with the first scholarships being awarded to students. The program is funded by purchases at Blind Mice Mart, private donations, and auctions held at the Blind Mice Auction Barn! The number of awards and the amount of each scholarship varies each year. Our goal is to offer more and larger scholarships every successive year!
This depends upon the income generated by these sources. Every time a purchase is made at Blind Mice Mart the proceeds from the purchase increase the scholarship fund!

Blind Mice Mart, through purchases by customers, donations from friends and income from The Auction Barn, has offered over $13,000.00 in scholarships to students. The goal for the program as stated by the founder of Blind Mice Mart and the Mouse Hole Scholarship Program, Dale Campbell, is to be able to provide a scholarship to every student that applies!

Blind Mice Inc has awarded over $13,000.00 in scholarships over the last 6 years!
This is only possible by the continued support by our faithful customers!

Each year The Mouse Hole Scholarships have gotten a little larger!


The scholarships are open to visually impaired students and also to sighted students with visually impaired parents. Let’s all work together to make life better for everyone!

The Mouse Hole Scholarship Program is now closed.

The Mouse Hole Scholarships opens on March 2nd and closes on May30th every year!
The topic for the essay will be posted on opening day each year!
Students may request applications for the Mouse Hole Scholarship Program during the open period.
Please read the eligibility rules below.
