[Mabs] Scholarship Opportunities - Deadline February 1, 2011

[Shelia Wright]

The National Federation of the Blind of Missouri announces our 2011
Scholarship Program. We invite all qualified candidates to apply. Applicants
must be legally blind and enrolled at a post-secondary school in Missouri
for the fall of 2011. Scholarships begin at $500 and are based on merit. In
addition to receiving the monetary award, the scholarship recipients will be
invited to the convention of the National Federation of the Blind of
Missouri, March 25-27, 2011. Transportation, registration, and rooming
expenses to the convention will be covered. Final interviews at the
convention will aid the committee in determining how available funds will be
distributed.

 

You should know that merit scholarships from the National Federation of the
Blind go directly to the winner and should not be considered as a similar
benefit by Rehabilitation Services for the Blind. Therefore, students can
use funds to meet expenses not already covered by other funding sources.
Also, merit scholarships are viewed very favorably when included in a
resume.

 

The application for this year's Scholarship Program is attached. If you have
any questions about our scholarship program, please contact the Chair at
816-741-6402 or by email at  <mailto:sbwright95 at att.net> sbwright95 at att.net.
Applications are also available at www.nfbmo.org. We look forward to
receiving your application.
