<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">Each year, the National Federation of the Blind awards scholarships to recognize achievement by blind and low-vision scholars.

<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">The cash value is only one aspect of this prestigious program.
