National Fellowship Program The TAD Foundation fellowship program is a first-of-its-kind nationwide program for blind and low-vision college students. In this selective, year-long program, fellows engage in quarterly in-person programming as well as online dialogue throughout the year focused on technical skills and leadership development. TAD Fellows are also paired with both blind and sighted mentors from across the business landscape and have access to original training curricula to learn, excel, and level the playing field with their sighted counterparts.
