[NFBN-Announce] 2020 NFBN Scholarship Reminder - Deadline in one month!

[Amy Buresh]

Are you a legally blind college student living in Nebraska? Do you know a Nebraskan who is legally blind and is on the journey of fulfilling their academic dreams? Have you or this person you might know ever wished to interact with others who are simply living the lives they want as blind Nebraskans? If the answer to any or all of these is yes, then the National Federation of the Blind of Nebraska annual scholarship program, which offers 5 scholarships ranging in value from $250 to $1,500 and an all-expense paid trip to the annual state convention, might be for you or them! Eligible students from high school seniors beginning their freshman year in the fall semester of 2020 up through grad students working on their PhD and who are legally blind are encouraged to apply.  The scholarships are merit based and consider academic excellence, community service, and leadership. 

 

Five selected winners from the applicant pool will attend the National Federation of the Blind of Nebraska’s 50th anniversary convention from October 23rd through 25th, 2020, and given 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. “It is inspiring to experience the vast knowledge and support that comes with the convention”, says Dominick Vanlanningham, 2019 top scholarship winner.

To apply, read the rules and the submission checklist, complete the official 2020 Scholarship Application Form, supply all required documents, and request and complete an interview with the NFBN affiliate president.
