[Louis Maher]

Folks,

Now that the annual NFB convention is approaching, I wanted to resend instructions to join the Science and Engineering division, donate to the STEM scholarship, remind people
How to join the Science and Engineering email list, and join the mentoring program.

NFB Science and Engineering Division Registration

To either become a registered member of the Science and Engineering division, or to renew your membership, go to "https://nfb.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=44". The dues are $5 a year per person. Please do not make any STEM scholarship donations on this page for the NFB is not yet equipped to separate dues payments from donations on this web page. The Scholarship donation process is below.

STEM Scholarship Donations

The Science and Engineering Division and the Computer Science Division are raising funds for a $8000 "Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics" (STEM) scholarship given by the NFB, to a worthy student at the NFB convention.

Please consider donating to the NFB towards this scholarship.

To donate:

There are two ways to donate to the NFB STEM Scholarship: one method is online, and the second method is by mail.

If you wish to make an online donation: go to
https://nfb.org/contribute/give and fill out the required fields. On the "Contribution Note" field please enter "STEM Scholarship". Once your donation has been submitted, you will receive an automatic acknowledgment of your donation. Please forward this donation acknowledgement to John Miller (Johnmillerphd at hotmail.com<mailto:Johnmillerphd at hotmail.com>) so that he can track our progress towards our funding goal.

Please make your contributions by March 1, 2025, so that your contributions can count towards the 2025 STEM Scholarship. The 2024 STEM scholarship has been funded.

NFB Science and Engineering E-mail List Subscription Page

The NFBnet.org website contains the Email/Web/FTP service of the National Federation of the Blind (https://www.nfbnet.org/).

The first link on the page is where you go to join or drop NFBnet mailing lists, as well as browse the archives. Clicking that link opens a page containing the NFB e-mail lists. Search for "NFB-Science" and follow the subscription instructions.

SEDNFB Mentoring Project

The Science and Engineering division's STEM Mentorship Program Was developed by Newton Nguyen, Gene Kim, and Kennedy Stomberg to pair STEM students with mentors. One of the program's activities is to host a monthly STEM seminar where students and mentors can discuss STEM techniques.

The mentor program registration form is located at:
