Memorial Loan Program/Elder Blind Loan Programs
The Montana Association for the Blind has two no-interest loan programs for MAB members who are visually impaired and seeking funds for equipment or education.
* The Memorial Loan Program is for applicants under the age of 55.
* The Elder Blind Lease/Loan Program is for applicants over the age of 55.
In all other regards, the programs are identical. Both are loan programs where legally blind MAB members can reasonably purchase adaptive equipment or pay for education that will help them maintain their independence through employment or in their home through no interest loans.
Eligible equipment includes CCTVs, computers or software with speech capability, or any other adaptive equipment, new or used, for use by the blind.

The maximum time for the loan repayment is 3 (three) years. After deciding what equipment is desired, a full application including a vendor's certification (for equipment purchase), requested terms of repayment, and all personal information required.
