[Nd-talk] 2019 NFB National Scholarship

[Milton Ota]

Every year, we award more than $120,000 to blind scholars across the 
United States and Puerto Rico in recognition of their achievements and 
professional
aspirations.

Thanks to our generous partners, there are
thirty merit-based scholarships currently available, ranging from 
$3,000 to $12,000. All scholarships are awarded based on academic 
excellence, community
service, and leadership.

The finalists are announced every spring. They attend our national 
convention in July when the winners of each individual scholarship are 
selected.

Winners have gone on to succeed in careers ranging from computer 
science and engineering to civil rights law and international diplomacy.
