[nabs-l] Introduction and some thoughts

[rachel Jacobs]

Hi. I am currently a college graduate student. There is plenty of money out 
there. First the Division of Blind Services may pay for you to go back to 
school. There is also government money that you can get. You would need to 
fill out FAFSA. There are other scholarships for the blind including the 
National Federation of the Blind state and national scholarships, American 
Counsil for the Blind, Association of Blind Citizens, and I believe it is 
called American Federation of the Blind. There is definitely a lot of money 
out there, and you shouldn't have to spend any out of pocket money.
