[nabs-l] NFB national convention scholarship

[Miso Kwak]

Shikha and anybody who may be interested...
First I want to make sure the scholarship you are applying is not the 
convention scholarship but the national scholarship. Finalists are 
invited and provided travel expanses to the national convention but the 
scholarship itself is for educational purpose not the attendance of 
convention
In this case, I am by no means an expert; only an experience of 
becoming a finalist once in 2013.
This essay was difficult as I was not sure how and what to talk about 
on my essay.
I ended up just being honest and myself. This sounds like such a cliche 
but this is the best way to communicate yourself. Of course a lot of 
proofreading and editing was involved. Also, it seems to be helpful if 
you can write about how NFB has shaped your life, experience, 
perspectives, etc. At the time I had not as much involvement with the 
NFB but I was still able to write something.
Best of luck to all who are applying!

Hi,
Would you also send it to me as well because I also will be applying 
for the scholarship. I will be a grad student I want to try to apply 
for as many scholarships as possible and the scholarship always seems 
to be one of the harder ones when it comes to knowing what exactly the 
scholarship committee is looking for an NSA. Thank you so much
