NFB scholarships are awarded on the basis of scholastic excellence, 
financial need, and community service.  In preparing your essay, keep in 
mind that the committee members are all successful college graduates.

Consider how you can most effectively convey your best qualities.  Since the 
awards are restricted to blind people, the committee will be interested in 
the techniques and approaches you use in living as a blind person.

Almost all blind students have financial need.  Committee members will 
assume basic need, so you may choose to refer to this topic only if your 
need is unusual.

If you have any questions, please call me at (718) 491-0053.
