[Cabs] Scholarship opportunities still Available from the National Federation of the Blind

[Chris Foster]

Dear Colleagues,
I want to remind you all again that scholarships are still available
from the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado as well as from
our national scholarship program sponsored by the National Federation of
the Blind.  This year, scholarship winners from either the state or
national program will enjoy the opportunity to travel to our national
convention in early July in Detroit, Michigan.  The deadline for
applying for both of these programs is Tuesday, March 31, so there is
still time to get your applications completed.
 
State scholarships
Attached to this message, you will find an information sheet about our
2009 National Federation of the Blind of Colorado scholarship program
along with an application.  Please note that you will need an
accompanying letter from an NFBCO state officer, so please act quickly.
 
National Scholarships
To learn more about and to apply for our national scholarship program,
please go to the following link: 
http://www.nfb.org/nfb/scholarship_program.asp
 
There, you will find all the requirements, information, etc that you
will need.  You will also be able to apply on line for our national
scholarships.  Applicants may apply for both of these programs and those
who have either applied for or have won NFB scholarships in the past are
welcome to apply again.  Lastly, if you are not applying for
scholarships this year, please share this message with anyone who may
want to apply or who may be in a position to share this with other blind
students.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.
