[NABS-L] Reminder - Scholarships Available for Minnesota's Legally Blind Students until April 15, 2021

[Steve Jacobson]

The National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota is pleased to announce that the application window for our 2021 scholarships is open now through April 15. Legally blind postsecondary students attending school full-time in Minnesota are encouraged to apply. Two scholarships of $2,000 and $1,500 will be awarded at our state convention in Bloomington on November 5-7, and your expenses will be paid to attend that convention. In addition, scholarship winners will have the opportunity to attend our national virtual convention on July 6-11. The application and all pertinent information and an on-line application can be found at
https://www.nfbmn.org/programs/scholarships<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nfbmn.org%2Fprograms%2Fscholarships&data=04%7C01%7C%7C3899bd140a5642433a9408d8e0a99a68%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637506366519546375%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=WuZZPX3avoAMePBjmJotGOHjulnVvqng%2FXTV9N304kI%3D&reserved=0>
Please note that our state convention was "virtual" last year, so a decision will be made about the actual location of our state convention closer to the scheduled date.

A Microsoft Word version of the application is also attached to this note. If you use the attached Microsoft Word form, send it with the required documents to Scholarships at nfbmn.org. If it is necessary to submit the application on paper, use the mailing address supplied with the application in the attached document.
