[Nebraska-students] NFBN 2016 Scholarship opportunity

[David Andrews]

Two things, first, the way the link was written in the e-mail might 
have made it so it didn't work, in some mail programs.  It does work, and is:

http://www.ne.nfb.org/scholarship-form

Secondly, most state scholarships don't have huge numbers of 
applicants, so you might be pleasantly surprised.  Go for it -- what 
do you have to loose, except a bit of time.
