[Blindtlk] scholarships for legally blind students pursuing higher education

[Tara Annis]

Please send this scholarship announcement to anyone who may be interested.  I've already sent it to the blind college student listserv (nabs). 

The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) administers a scholarship program for deserving students.  Each year individuals who are legally blind can apply for financial awards to support their post-secondary education.  Seven scholarships are offered through this program with a potential of eleven recipients.  The application can be filled out online at www.afb.org/scholarships.asp.  The 2012 scholarship program will end on the deadline of April 30, 2012.
