[NABS-L] For Texas Students: Glenn and Norma Crosby Washington Seminar scholarship

[Jonathan Franks]

Hello Nabsters,
If you are a student in Texas, please see below for this excellent opportunity.

Greetings students,
The Texas Association of Blind Students are happy to once again
provide the Glenn and Norma Crosby Washington Seminar scholarship.
Washington Seminar is our biggest legislative movement where 500
members of the National Federation of the Blind travel to Washington
D.C to talk about issues that directly affect and will improve the
lives of blind people. This is an excellent opportunity to get our
voices heard by the law making individuals in our Government  and
convey to them that blind people deserve equal rights in the United
States.

What we are asking for you to do in order to apply for the scholarship
is to write an essay about three issues that you believe our United
States Congress  can pass into law that positively enhances the lives
of blind people.
The essay should be no more than 500 words and submitted to both Tabs
President Harry Staley and Treasurer/ Legislative and Advocacy
committee Chairman Jonathan Franks by 11:59PM on December 12th.

Harry’s email is:
hstaley at nfbtx.org
and Jonathan’s email is:
jfranks at nfbtx.org

Warm regards and good luck,

Jonathan Franks BSW
Board Member
National Federation of the Blind of Texas


-- 
The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles between blind people  and our dreams. You can live the life
you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
