[Iabs-talk] Fwd: [Njabs-talk] 2009 Scholarship and Career Awards

[AZNOR99 at aol.com]

I know virtually nothing about this scholarship, and it just came across my  
inbox from another student division, so I decided to pass it on.  Please  note 
however that those who attend school in Illinois are ineligible, but if  
Illinois is your home state and you attend a school in one of the listed  
jurisdictions, you are eligible.

The following is forwarded at the request of CBVI  Executive Director,

Vito DeSantis:

Dear Mr. DeSantis:

My  name is Nancy O'Connell and I am part of the team that developed

eSight  Careers Network, the online community addressing disability

employment  issues, which is located at

http://www.eSight.org

I am writing  to you today specifically to ask for your help.  Would you

please  inform eligible students that Lighthouse International is  still

accepting applications for our

2009 Scholarship and Career  Awards.

There are three categories and each carries a $5,000  prize:

- College-Bound,

- Undergraduate,  and

- Graduate

A total of five Scholarships will be  awarded across those three

categories. The criteria for eligibility are  that applicants:

- Must be legally blind (i.e., have a best  corrected

visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better  eye,

and/or a visual field of less than 20 degrees in  the

better eye).

- Must be US citizens, and reside  and attend an

accredited school in any of the following  states:

CT, DE, FL, GA, MA, MD, ME, NC, NH, NJ,  NY,

PA, RI, SC, VA, WV and VT, or Washington,  DC.

Proof of citizenship will be required of all  winners.

Scholarships are based on academic and personal achievements  and

candidates are not required to demonstrate financial  need.

Previous winners (in any category) of Lighthouse Scholarships,  current

Lighthouse employees and members of their immediate families  are

ineligible.

You can learn more about these scholarships,  which reward excellence,

recognize accomplishments and help students  who are blind or partially

sighted achieve their career goals  at

program, please e-mail us  at

Please ask your students to specify that  they learned about this

opportunity from eSight Careers  Network.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best  regards,

Nancy
