[NABS-L] NFB of SC 2021 Scholarships

[Steve Cook]

Spring brings flowers, pollen, and the start of the NFB of SC Scholarship application season!  With the state convention being August 20-22, 2021, the deadline for scholarship applications is 11:59 p.m. June 19, 2021.  The committee will select the top three applicants, and they will be notified approximately one month prior to the state convention. The updated scholarship application is now available at www.nfbofsc.org.  Please also remember that the scholarship program operates on donations exclusively.  If you or your chapter would like to contribute a scholarship or make a donation to the Metro Fund, please get in touch with both me, Shannon Cook, (coffeequeensc1 at sc.rr.com or (803) 605-4250) and Valerie Warrington, NFB of SC Treasurer.  Also, please help us get the word out about the program.  If you or someone you know is in school full time, please encourage them to apply for a scholarship!  Thank you.

You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

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.
