Greetings,

Just a reminder, the deadline to submit your application for the 
National Federation of the Blind scholarship is fast approaching. The 
deadline is March 31, 2023. If you are a college student, or plan to be 
a college student, and are going to be enrolled in college in the Fall 
of 2023, you should apply. As long as you meet the qualifications, 
which can be found by going to www.nfb.org/scholarships 
<http://www.nfb.org/scholarships>, your application will be considered.

It is also not too late to apply for the National Federation of the 
Blind of Arizona scholarship. The deadline is May 31, 2023, and 
requires the same qualifications as the national scholarship. Please 
contact Amy Porterfield at amypfield at gmail.com 
<mailto:amypfield at gmail.com> if you have any questions.

If you are not planning on being enrolled in college in the Fall of 
2023, but know a blind student that will be enrolled, please share this 
information with them.

Each year, the National Federation of the Blind awards scholarships to 
recognize achievement by blind and low-vision scholars. Thanks to our 
generous partners, there are thirty $8,000 merit-based scholarships 
currently available. And the cash value is only one aspect of this 
prestigious program.

We also provide funding to travel to and attend the National Federation 
of the Blind’s national convention with the opportunity to network with 
more blind students, to exchange information and ideas, and to meet and 
talk with hundreds of blind people who are successfully working in many 
occupations and professions. Apply for the scholarship program now.

"Applying for this prestigious scholarship is challenging but worth it. 
Applicants come from various backgrounds including those who have never 
heard of the NFB before. If one does not get selected for one year; do 
not be discouraged and apply again." - Colin Wong, winner of the 2022 
Kenneth Jernigan Scholarship
