Dear Scholarship Applicant,

The National Federation of the Blind of New York State, Inc., proudly 
announces our 2010 Scholarship Program.  Scholarships will be presented at 
our State Convention banquet in Buffalo, New York, on October 23, 2010.

Applicants must meet the following requirements:

·        You are a resident of New York State.

·        You are legally blind.

·        You are currently accepted in or enrolled in a degree program at 
the undergraduate, graduate, or postgraduate level.

·        You complete the enclosed application and essay of approximately 
500 words (or apply on line at www.nfbny.org) which  must be received by the 
Scholarship Committee on or before September 30, 2010.

 Scholarship finalists are required to attend and participate in the 
convention (at the Federation's expense). You will be notified prior to the 
convention if you are a finalist.

 NFB scholarships are awarded on the basis of scholastic excellence, 
financial need, and community service.  In preparing your essay, keep in 
mind that the committee members are all successful college graduates. 
Consider how you can most effectively convey your best qualities.  Since the 
awards are restricted to blind people, the committee will be interested in 
the techniques and approaches you use in living as a blind person.  Almost 
all blind students have financial need.  Committee members will assume basic 
need, so you may choose to refer to this topic only if your need is unusual.

 If you have any questions, please call me at (718) 491-0053.

Sincerely,
Raymond Wayne, Chairman
NFB of NYS
Scholarship Committee




The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
