[NFBNJ] Announcing the National Federation of the blind of New Jersey's 2024 Scholarship class

[Lia Stone]

Happy Monday, fellow Federationists!



The scholarship committee is excited to announce the 2024 National
Federation of the Blind of New Jersey scholarship class! This class is one
of our most diverse classes yet, including undergraduate and graduate
students, students from 2 and 4 year institutions, and majors running the
gamut from teaching to mountain studies as well as two national scholarship
winners. None of this would have been possible without the generous
benefactors, including the chapters that fundraised to create a
scholarship. Please join me in giving thanks to these benefactors and
congratulating our winners on their accomplishment!
