The scholarship committee met last night and chose this year's scholarship
winners. They are: Natalya (Tasha) Budnik of Everett, Wa. and Humberto Avila
of Yakima, Wa. Tasha is a Freshman at Everett Community College. Her plan is
to take her basic classes there, then transfer to the University of
Washington and obtain a Masters Degree in Physical Therapy. Humberto is a
Sophomore at Yakima Valley Community College, and has a goal of becoming an
Assistive Technology Teacher of blind children. Both of these young people
are fine students, and are very appreciative of our assistance. I think that
everyone will enjoy getting to know them at convention. 

  

This year, the committee chose the 2 winners, but did not decide on the
amount each would receive ($2,000 or $3,000). That decision will be made
before the banquet on Saturday evening.  

  

Both Tasha and Humberto are eager to be a part of the Federation. They are
both engaging and smart. 

  

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the members of the scholarship
committee; Kaye Kipp, Bennett Prows,Maria Bradford and Mike Mello. Everyone
worked hard to make this happen. We had excellent applicants, and the
committee considered each one carefully. I have spoken to all of the
students this morning. 

  

I look forward to seeing  many of you in Everett in October. I think it will
be an exciting convention! 

  

Marci Carpenter 

Chairperson 

Scholarship Committee 

NFB of Washington
