Lincoln, NE (July 21, 2014). The National Federation of the Blind of
Nebraska today announces the 2014 NFBN Scholarship Program and the
immediate release of its application form.

Are you a legally blind college student living in Nebraska? This
annual program offers 5 scholarships worth from $250.00 to $1,000 to
eligible students, from high school seniors beginning their freshman
year in the fall semester of 2014, up through grad students working on
their PhD.  These merit scholarships are based on academic excellence,
community service, and leadership. In addition to the money, each
winner will receive assistance to attend an all expense paid trip to
the NFBN state convention in Omaha from October 10th through the 12th
and the chance to compete for one of five scholarships awarded by the
state affiliate and various chapters and divisions within the NFB of
Nebraska.

Anyone who has ever attended an NFBN convention will be proud to
attest to its ability to be a positive, life changing experience.

To apply, read the rules and the submission checklist, complete the
official 2014 Scholarship Application Form (online or in print),
supply all required documents, and request and complete one interview
with the NFBN affiliate president.
