Our division was able to give a scholarship in 2016.
We have been asked to complete our fundraising by May in order to award a scholarship at NFB convention in July.
If we do not meet our funding goal this year, we will give this scholarship in July of 2018.
I am really excited about the scholarship and am looking forward to meeting the enthusiastic blind student who will be the winner.
