This will be the second consecutive<br>year implementing this program, with the same goal in mind: we need blind<br>students representing the National Federation of the Blind on Capitol Hill<br>this January!<br><br><br><br>It is our hope that students seek funding sources from local chapters,<br>affiliates, and, of course, put in some personal finances, to offset the<br>cost of attendance. We are here to provide some additional, yet necessary,<br>funding resources to students who are highly interested in attending but may<br>not have the financial ability. I very much encourage any blind student to<br>apply, whether you are a new Federationist or a veteran family member.<br>Please do spread this application far and wide!<br><br><br><br>To apply, follow the below link:<br><br><br><<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_a_wfu">https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_a_wfu</a>.<br>edu_forms_d_e_1FAIpQLSf5Y8yw5JW1jjFJ1bBo22pIi-2Du1mf97i4lQNYCQONiiR9490g_vie<br>wform-3Fc-3D0-26w-3D1&d=CwMFAg&c=AGbYxfJbXK67KfXyGqyv2Ejiz41FqQuZFk4A-1IxfAU<br>&r=5dCABYJ5CxvQOBhyYB2Rbvx93pYuHZ0o8bUuY2oCLno&m=Hq7EAQFWpGdbZB-DHDatKaVH8N7<br>UTHE0eWNDwPADPiM&s=VWbV3BTvizZbUzq1xwyVQNkSE8rT-q2HfiIL-aIqtCo&e=><br><a href="https://docs.google.com/a/wfu.edu/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf5Y8yw5JW1jjFJ1bBo22pIi-">https://docs.google.com/a/wfu.edu/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf5Y8yw5JW1jjFJ1bBo22pIi-</a><br>u1mf97i4lQNYCQONiiR9490g/viewform?c=0&w=1<br><br><br><br>Some important pieces to keep in mind:<br><br>1. Applications are open from November 15 through December 2. No late<br>submissions will be accepted, under any circumstances.<br><br>2. I suggest reviewing the application sooner than later since there<br>is a requirement to submit two names as references.<br><br>3. Decisions will be made by mid-December.<br><br>4. Please seek out additional funding sources, since this program is<br>meant to help cover, not fully cover the cost of attendance.<br><br>5. Washington Seminar takes place from January 30 through February 2.<br>All students are required to be present from Monday morning through<br>Wednesday evening if you are selected to receive funding.<br><br><br><br>With one of our big initiatives focusing on equal access to education, it is<br>critical that we have a strong and passionate student voice present in DC.<br>This is an overwhelmingly incredible opportunity to get some leadership and<br>legislative experience, interact with significant figures in our movement<br>and in Congress, and an opportunity to push for changes that directly impact<br>each and every one of us. I encourage all students to join us in January;<br>and we are here to make sure that happens.<br><br><br><br>Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if any questions or concerns<br>arise. I look forward to seeing many of you in just over two months.<br><br><br><br>Best,<br><br>Kathryn Webster<br><br>President | national Association of Blind Students<br><br>(203) 273-8463<br><br><a href="mailto:Nabs.president@gmail.com">Nabs.president@gmail.com</a><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>NABS-L mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NABS-L@nfbnet.org">NABS-L@nfbnet.org</a><br><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nabs-l_nfbnet.org">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nabs-l_nfbnet.org</a><br>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NABS-L:<br><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nabs-l_nfbnet.org/zdreicer%40gmail.com">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nabs-l_nfbnet.org/zdreicer%40gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
