Dr. Will G. Kelley (Fun Run) Scholarship

Dr. Kelley was the second black graduate of the UC Berkeley School of Optometry, who made countless contributions to the field and to the NOA. As he was a proponent of staying healthy, through physical activity, the annual fun run was started, in his honor, to raise money for deserving students.

Make a donation to this worthy cause to help us honor these students!

Scholarship, Community Outreach and Educational Activities

The goal of the NOF is to assist the NOA in its efforts to advance the visual health of under-supported populations, while increasing the recruitment of underrepresented individuals into schools and colleges of optometry. All tax deductible donations go towards achieving this goal.

“Visioning the Future” HBCU Mentorship Program

The number of African American/Black optometry students is drastically lower than the number of other under-supported individuals in the nation’s Schools and Colleges of Optometry. The objective of the mentorship program is to identify interested African American students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and facilitate their professional development and career advancement in the field of Optometry.

Looking Ahead, Giving Back Campaign

The National Optometric Foundation is proud to launch our “Looking Ahead, Giving Back” campaign—an initiative designed to inspire past scholarship recipients to invest in the future of optometry.

Through this campaign, we are asking alumni, friends, and supporters to pledge $1,000 to help sustain and expand the scholarships that empower the next generation of optometrists. For those unable to contribute the full amount at once, flexible installment options are available, making it easier than ever to give back in a meaningful way.
