[nabs-l] 2014 NFB of Minnesota Scholarships for Blind Minnesotans are Available

[Steve Jacobson]

Please help us spread the word.  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.  If you are unable to receive
attachments, please go to

http://www.nfbmn.org/students/scholarship.htm

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.

If you wish to learn more about how we are changing what it means to 
be blind, check out our web site at

Thank you very much for assisting us to reach perspective blind applicants.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
NFB of Minnesota Scholarship Committee
