[Lpobc] FW: [Nfbnet-master-list] National Scholarship Announcement

[Eric Guillory]

I have sent this information out before, but, as there was another announcement in this regard, I thought I'd do so again. This is relevant for blind high school seniors and college students. Information about the NFB of Louisiana's scholarship program (relevant for the same demographic) will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks. Thanks, and have a great week!

National Federation of the Blind 2015 Scholarship Program
< www.nfb.org/scholarships<http://www.nfb.org/scholarships>>
Deadline: March 31, 2015
Are you a legally blind college student living in the United States or Puerto Rico? This annual program offers 30 scholarships worth from $3,000 to $12,000 to eligible students, from high school seniors beginning their freshman year in the fall semester of 2015, up through grad students working on their PhD degrees. These merit scholarships are based on academic excellence, community service, and leadership. In addition to the money, each winner will receive assistance to attend the July 2015 NFB annual convention in Orlando, Florida, providing an excellent opportunity for high-level networking with active blind persons in many different professions and occupations.  To apply, read the rules and the Submission Checklist, complete the official 2015 Scholarship Application Form (online or in print), supply all required documents, and request and complete one interview by an NFB affiliate president (unless the president requests a later date). Applications are accepted for five months, from November 1, 2014, to March 31, 2015. Go to www.nfb.org/scholarships<http://www.nfb.org/scholarships> for complete rules and requirements.
