2026 Disability Scholarship Winner: Andrew Lee, Georgia Institute of Technology

Lee is currently majoring in computer science at the Georgia Institute of Technology and earning minors in international affairs and Spanish.

Lee began to lose his vision at age eight. His sight declined quickly, leaving him little time to adjust. He stepped away from activities he loved, especially soccer, and had to learn new ways to handle nearly every part of daily life. Rather than focus on the change, Lee rebuilt the way he studied, got around, and competed. In middle school, he joined mock trial, which strengthened his ability to listen closely and respond in the moment without relying on visual cues.
