            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"

            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
