Certification Scholarships

Keith and Wink strongly believe every interpreter needs to have a valid certification. This proves you have been measured, and have accountability within the field they cherish. They know that interpreters not only interpret for their parents, but for friends, and extended family. This belief also extends to CODAs. Keith and Wink being CODAs themselves, stress the need for certification to every CODA they meet. Currently we are looking into providing scholarships for both the written and performance portion of the National Interpreter Certification (NIC) provided by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc (www.RID.org) We are developing guidelines now. We have the funds needed to support this scholarship and information will be released soon.

Keith and Wink as children have never been to a KODA camp, workshops, or other young coda activities that now as adults they can see the benefits of such programs. We would like to extend a scholarship to those for various opportunities, when we find programs that we can provide scholarships to, we will inform our newsletter and Facebook subscribers and post here on the website.
