[chelsea peahl]

The National Federation of the Blind of Utah is excited tell you about about our annual scholarship program. We know that there is a high cost to education, including assistive technology, and we are excited to be able to award multiple scholarships totaling thousands of dollars to blind and low vision students to be able to offset some of these costs!

Our deadline is quickly approaching, as the last day to apply is March 1, 2020. This is different than the National scholarship that is due March 31, 2020.

Scholarship finalists are required to attend the entire 2020 National Federation of the Blind of Utah State Convention, at no cost to you, March 26-28 at the Downtown Sheraton in Salt Lake City, Utah. Scholarships will be awarded at our Banquet on March 28th.
