The exact number of blind college students in the US is currently unknown. There has never been a comprehensive survey completed. However, according to the National Federation of The Blind, there are over 7.6 million visually disabled people in the US. Given that roughly 6.6% of US adults are enrolled in college courses at any given time, if this ratio holds for the visually disabled, this means there could be close to 500,000 visually impaired college students in the US.
