[nabs-l] Interview for the NFB Student Scholarship

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Helga,

The deadline is march 31 for the application and interview. This
should give you enough time to cut down your essay and send it to her
before the interview. If you need to have the interview very soon, you
could send her the longer version of your essay and just say you will
be cutting it down. I think she is just asking for your essay to get a
general idea of what you will be writing about.
Best of luck!
Arielle
