Project Foresight Goes Virtual

Walmart Health & Wellness’s annual Optometry Scholarship competition, Project Foresight, has students participating from all 23 Schools and Colleges of Optometry. The Project Foresight competition highlights the vision of Walmart Health and Wellness to provide quality, affordable and accessible healthcare for everyone. Students have entered their submissions and are being virtually interviewed by our team on the content and viability of their proposals. 

Project Foresight was open to all ASCO member optometry students enrolled in their first, second or third year of school during the 2019-2020 academic year. We are awarding a winner from each of the 23 schools participating this year! Each winner will be awarded $2,000 scholarship and will be formally recognized for their efforts virtually during a ZOOM meeting.  We will announce the overall competition runner-up ($2,500 scholarship) and grand prize winner ($5,000 scholarship and campus traveling trophy). We are enjoying the innovative ideas your students have come up with and excited to reward them for their efforts!
