2025 Scholarship Program for Blind Students in Texas

2025 National Federation of the Blind of Texas Scholarship Application

Each year the National Federation of the Blind of Texas offers scholarships
to the best and brightest blind students in the state. The scholarships are

awarded during our annual convention. This year the convention will be held
on the weekend of October 31-November 2, 2025. The site for this year's
convention

is the DoubleTree by Hilton Houston Hobby Airport. Attendance, at our
expense, is mandatory for all finalists. Finalists should plan to arrive at
the hotel

no later than 4:00 PM, on October 31, and should plan to leave the hotel no
earlier than noon on November 2.

ELIGIBILITY - The following requirements apply to all applicants:

.              Must be legally blind in both eyes. 

.              Must be a resident of Texas. Texas residency means that you
must be living in Texas at the time of application.

.              Must be pursuing or planning to pursue a full-time,
post-secondary course of study at a U. S. institution of higher education in
the fall of the application

year. Members of the National Federation of the Blind of Texas value both
work and education. Therefore, the committee may, at its discretion, grant
one

scholarship to a student who attends school part-time while working
full-time. It may also consider students who are attending a trade or
technical school

on a full-time basis.

.              Must attend the entire convention of the National Federation
of the Blind of Texas.

 

Deadline: August 1, 2025
