The National Federation of the Blind of Nebraska announces the 2016
NFBN Scholarship Program and the immediate release of its application
form.

Are you a legally blind college student living in Nebraska? If not do
you know one?  This annual program offers 5 scholarships ranging in
value from $250.00 to $1,000 to eligible students from high school
seniors beginning their freshman year in the fall semester of 2016 up
through grad students working on their PhD. These merit scholarships
are based on academic excellence, community service, and leadership.
In addition to the money, each winner will receive an all- expense
paid trip to the NFBN state convention in Columbus, NE from October
7th through 9th,  2016,  and the chance to compete for one of five
scholarships awarded by the state affiliate and various chapters and
divisions within the NFB of Nebraska.


Anyone who has ever attended an NFBN convention will be proud to
attest to its ability to be a positive, life changing experience.


To apply, read the rules and the submission checklist, complete the
official 2016 Scholarship Application Form (online or in print),
supply all required documents, and request and complete one interview
with the NFBN affiliate president.

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.
