Scholarship Opportunity: Funding, Travel, Mentorship, and More

Deadline approaching for 2023 scholarship program, apply today <https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/MDuICJ67L4IqPX8AfYQQwB?domain=u32452178.ct.sendgrid.net> . Each year, the National Federation of the Blind awards scholarships to recognize achievement by blind and low-vision scholars. Thanks to our generous partners, there are thirty $8,000 merit-based scholarships currently available. And the cash value is only one aspect of this prestigious program. 

We also provide funding to travel to and attend the National Federation of the Blind’s national convention with the opportunity to network with more blind students, to exchange information and ideas, and to meet and talk with hundreds of blind people who are successfully working in many occupations and professions. Apply for the scholarship program now. 

"Applying for this prestigious scholarship is challenging but worth it. Applicants come from various backgrounds including those who have never heard of the NFB before. If one does not get selected for one year; do not be discouraged and apply again." - Colin Wong, winner of the 2022 Kenneth Jernigan Scholarship
