Asunto: Becasde Artes Escénicas 2015
Saludos en nombre de la división de artes escénicas. Ojalá que este
mensaje te encuentre bien.
En recuerdo de una de nuestras líderes, Mary Ann Parks, quien se
desempeñó como Secretaria de la División de Artes Escénicas de la
Federación Nacional de Ciegos,
un programa de becas fue establecido en 2008. Mary Ann Parques fue
elegida por primera vez en 2005 y ayudó a supervisar la división, la
cual, experimentó una gran expansión.
Como una de las líderes de la División, trabajó para gestionar las
convenciones de verano, mantuvo registros valiosos, y ayudó en la
promoción y producción de nuestro
primer álbum, Sound In Sight, que fue lanzado en el año 2007. Además de
trabajar con la División de Artes Escénicas, Mary Ann también ocupó el
cargo de Secretaria
de la Federación Nacional de Ciegos de Georgia. El 25 de agosto del
2007, debido a las lesiones sufridas en un accidente automovilístico,
Mary Ann falleció. ella
siempre será recordada como la persona positiva, optimista y de carácter
fuerte que era, y será muy recordada por todos los que la conocían.
En la convención de 75 años de la Federación Nacional de Ciegos, en
julio del 2015, la División otorgará una beca para reconocer el logro
y ofrecer apoyo a una persona legalmente ciega interesada en obtener un
título en las artes escénicas. La beca estará disponible a las personas
desde cuarto grado de la escuela secundaria
hasta estudiantes de posgrado que actualmente están llevando a cabo, o
que planean llevar a cabo, un ciclo de estudios postsecundarios de
tiempo completo, o estudios en un programa de grado relacionados
a las artes escénicas en una institución acreditada en los Estados
Unidos. Cada solicitante será considerado en base a la realización de
los logros relacionados con las artes,
aspiraciones y metas; excelencia académica; y esfuerzos de servicio
comunitario.
El ganador de la beca estará presente en la Convención nacional del 75
aniversario de la Federación Nacional de Ciegos, que se celebrará en
Orlando, Florída. la beca
se presentará en la contienda anual de talento el Domingo, 9 de julio
del 2015.
Además de nuestro programa de becas, también hemos establecido un
programa de subsidios que, a través de un proceso de solicitud de
trabajo, asistirá a individuos legalmente ciegos
con financiación para la realización de proyectos de arte, los gastos
relacionados con los viajes incurridos como resultado de la realización
de proyectos artísticos, así como otras tales
necesidades que puedan surgir. Cada solicitud será revisada
cuidadosamente, y estipendios se otorgarán en base a necesidad exhibida.

Greetings on behalf of the performing arts division. We hope this
message finds you doing well.
In remembrance of one of our leaders, Mary Ann Parks, who served as the
Secretary of the Performing Arts Division of the National Federation of
the Blind, a scholarship program was established in 2008. Mary Ann
Parks was first elected in 2005 and helped oversee the division as it
experienced great expansion. As one of the leaders of the Division, she
worked to manage the summer conventions, kept valuable records, and
assisted in promoting and producing our first /Sound In Sight/ album,
which was released in 2007. In addition to working with the Performing
Arts Division, Mary Ann also held the post of Secretary of the National
Federation of the Blind of Georgia. On August 25, 2007, due to injuries
sustained in an automobile accident, Mary Ann passed away. She will
always be remembered as the positive, upbeat and strong-willed person
she was, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
At the 75^th anniversary convention of the National Federation of the
Blind in July of 2015, the Division will award a scholarship to
recognize achievement and offer support of a legally blind individual
interested in pursuing a degree in the performing arts. The scholarship
will be available to high school seniors through grad students who are
currently pursuing, or planning to pursue, a full time post-secondary
course of study in a degree program related to the performing arts at an
accredited institution in the United States. Each applicant will be
considered based upon performing arts-related achievements, aspirations,
and goals; academic excellence; and community service endeavors.
The scholarship winner will attend the National Federation of the
Blind’s 75^th anniversary National Convention, to be held in Orlando,
Florida. The scholarship will be presented at the annual talent
competition on Sunday July 9^th , 2015.
In addition to our scholarship program, we have also established a
subsidy program which will, through a short application process, assist
legally blind individuals with funding for performing arts projects,
travel-related expenses incurred as a result of performing arts
projects, as well as other such related needs that may arise. Each
application will be carefully reviewed, and stipends will be awarded
based upon exhibited need.

Scholarship program as well as our new subsidy program.
