Scholarship Program:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<span style="font-size:16.0pt">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 <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.nfb.org/scholarships">www.nfb.org/scholarships</a>
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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt">Get started
on your application soon! Good luck!!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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.!. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
