[NFBF-L] NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND OF FLORIDA Scholarship ANNOUNCEMENT

[Jorge Hernandez]

Good evening Christine, 

 

The scholarship committee will meet in mid July and I will bring up your question to the entire delegation.

 

Do you know the exact date that you will be starting at LCB?  If the dates are after the convention, then you will not have any problems applying for the scholarship.

 

Jorge Hernandez

Good evening Jorge!

 

Did the topic of including individuals that are attending national training centers, get brought up? I have been accepted to the Louisiana Center for the Blind and I am planning to start the 9 month intensive program in October. Can I apply for this scholarship? Please let me know. 

 

Thanks!
