National Federation of the Blind 2016 Scholarship  Program
_www.nfb.org/scholarships_ (http://www.nfb.org/scholarships)   
Deadline: March 31, 2016
Are you a legally blind college student living  in the United States or 
Puerto Rico? This annual program offers 30  scholarships worth from $3,000 to 
$12,000 to eligible students, from high  school seniors beginning their 
freshman year in the fall semester of 2016, up  through grad students working on 
their PhD degrees. These merit scholarships  are based on academic 
excellence, community service, and leadership. In  addition to the money, each winner 
will receive assistance to attend the July  2016 NFB annual convention in 
Orlando, Florida providing an excellent  opportunity for high-level 
networking with active blind persons in many  different professions and occupations.  
To apply, read the rules and the  Submission Checklist, complete the 
official 2016 Scholarship Application Form  (online or in print), supply all 
required documents, and request and complete  one interview by an NFB affiliate 
president (unless the president requests a  later date). Applications are 
accepted  through March 31. Go to _www.nfb.org/scholarships_ 
(http://www.nfb.org/scholarships)  for  complete rules and requirements.

Please also consult your state  president as many of our state affiliates 
also award scholarships.  A  list of state affiliate president information 
can be found at:  https://nfb.org/state-presidents-list.

"Every  day we raise the expectations of blind people in the National 
Federation of  the Blind.  Live the Life You Want."
