> Time passes more quickly than one sometimes thinks, and the deadline for scholarship applications is drawing nearer. Attached are two documents that
> contain information and an application for the state scholarship program of
> the National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota. Please distribute as widely as possible to legally blind Minnesotans
> pursuing a post-secondary education.
>
> The application and associated information are made available here as a "PDF" document and a ".DOC" Microsoft
> Word document. The "PDF" document is ideal for printing additional paper copies while the Microsoft Word
> document provides a means to supply information in electronic form which is generally easier for those using assistive technology
> such as screen readers.
>
> If you have any questions about our scholarship program, please contact the scholarship committee chairperson as
> follows:
>
> Sheila Koenig, State Scholarship Chairperson
> e-mail: shekoenig at comcast.net
>
> or refer to the attached document for additional contact information. Applications for the Minnesota scholarship
> program must be received no later than April 15.
>
> In addition to the two NFB of Minnesota scholarships, our national organization is awarding thirty separate national
> scholarships with values ranging up to $12,000. One application can be used to apply for all of the national
> scholarships, but the application for the national scholarships is not part of the attached application for our Minnesota
> scholarship. The application process for the national and state scholarships are independent; thus, candidates must
> complete and submit applications separately when applying to both scholarship programs.
>
> More information on the national scholarships and the application can be obtained at
>
> http://www.nfb.org/scholarships
>
> Part of the application process for the national scholarships is to be interviewed by the president of our state
> organization, Jennifer Dunnam. She can be contacted by e-mail at
>
> jennifer.dunnam1829 at gmail.com
>
> or reply to this note and I will assist. Unlike our state application, national scholarship applications must be received by
> March 31.
>
> Finally, please visit our web site to learn more about the successes achieved and the challenges faced by blind Minnesotans. You can find the NFB of
> Minnesota web site at
>
> http://www.nfbmn.org
>
> and we hope to meet you there.
>
> Thank you very much for assisting us to reach perspective blind applicants.
