Exciting news!  The National Federation of the Blind of New York State is pleased to announce that we are currently accepting applications for our 2018 state scholarship program.  These scholarships will range in value from $500 to $1500, and will be awarded at our state convention from Oct. 19-21, 2018.

There you will find application guidelines, instructions and our online application form.  Don’t wait, the application deadline is September 15. 

 

In addition to the monetary value of each scholarship, all finalists will receive their hotel accommodations and transportation  to and from the convention courtesy of the NFB of NYS.  At the convention, there will be opportunities to network with other blind students from across the state and across the country, as well as to connect with blind professionals working in a variety of fields.

 

On behalf of the scholarship committee of the NFB of New York State, I wish you all success in your academic pursuits, and look forward to receiving your scholarship applications.
