Lincoln, NE (August 7, 2015). The National Federation of the Blind of Nebraska today announces the 2015 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 $250.00 to $1,000 to eligible students, from high school seniors beginning their freshman year in the fall semester of 2015, 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 Norfolk from October 30th through November 1st 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 2015 Scholarship Application Form (online or in print), supply all required documents, and request and complete one interview with the NFBN affiliate president.

To apply, print an application form or learn more, go to www.ne.nfb.org/scholarship.
