The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland is pleased to announce that
this year, four students have been selected as 2022 John T. McCraw
Scholarship finalists.  They will all be attending the NFB National
Convention in New Orleans and the NFBMD State Convention in Towson, so you
will have the chance to get to know them.  They will receive their NFBMD
scholarships of $4,000 each, at the state convention in November provided
they remain eligible.  We are thrilled with this year's scholarship class
and know you will be impressed as well.

 

The finalists are listed below:

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
