The National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota is pleased to announce
that the application window for our 2021 scholarships is open now through
April 15. Legally blind postsecondary students attending school full-time
in Minnesota are encouraged to apply. Two scholarships of $2,000 and
$1,500 will be awarded at our state convention in Bloomington on November
5-7, and your expenses will be paid to attend that convention. In
addition, scholarship winners will have the opportunity to attend our
national virtual convention on July 6-11. The application and all
pertinent information and an on-line application can be found at<br><br>

so a decision will be made about the actual location of our state
convention closer to the scheduled date.<br><br>
