Hello



My name is Jessica Beecham and I am pleased to tell you about two AMAZING
scholarship opportunity offered through the National Federation of the
Blind (NFB) and the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado (NFBCO).  The
National Federation of the Blind awards 30 scholarships ranging in value
from $3,000.00 to $13,000.00.  These scholarships are awarded to blind
students from across the United States who will be pursuing a full time
post secondary education in the Fall of 2013.  One scholarship is awarded
to an individual who is working full time and attending school part time.  The
NFBCO awards over $15,000.00 in scholarships to Colorado residents who are
blind and attending college full time.



NFBCO Scholarships are awarded at the 2013 NFB of Co state convention,
which will be held in Colorado Springs, CO.  Expenses will be paid for
scholarship winners to attend the NFBCO State convention.  In addition to
the monetary award and the trip to CO Springs, students will also receive
an all-expense paid trips to the National Federation of the Blind’s
