*National Federation of the Blind  Scholarship Program:*


We are accepting scholarship applications from November 1, 2016, to 
March 31, 2017. Our annual program offers thirty scholarships worth from 
$3,000 to $12,000 to eligible students, from high school seniors 
beginning their freshman year in the fall semester of 2017, up through 
graduate students working on their PhD degrees. These merit scholarships 
are based on academic excellence, community service, and leadership. In 
addition to the scholarship funds, each winner will receive significant 
assistance to attend the 2017 NFB annual convention in Orlando, Florida, 
held during the second week of July, providing an excellent opportunity 
for high-level networking with active blind persons in many different 
professions and occupations. Go to www.nfb.org/scholarships 
<http://www.nfb.org/scholarships> for complete rules and requirements. 
Make sure to read the instructions thoroughly. In addition to the 
application, reference letters and transcripts , you must contact the 
President of the NFB state affiliate in which you live to schedule an 
interview.  He or she will then write a letter of reference for you 
based on the interview which becomes a part of your application. If you 
are or will be a student within the guidelines above and are currently 
or will be living in the state of Oklahoma, you may contact me at the 
information below.

Get started on your application soon! Good luck!!

Warmly,

Jeannie

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day, we raise 
expectations of the blind because low expectations create obstacles 
between blind people and our dreams. Blindness is not what holds you 
back. You can live the life you want.!.

“Whatever you dare to dream, begin.” – Goethe
