To all my NFB family and Friends,

 

We are pleased to launch this year's 2023-2024 NFB of Virginia Scholarship
program. The scholarship committee would love to request your help in
distributing the information below to everyone you know who is attending a
college or university this upcoming year. Your participation and help are
appreciated and are a huge part of our success. Please see all the details
below. Thanks again for your help and support in making this a fantastic
opportunity for our blind students across Virginia.

 

National Federation of the Blind of Virginia

2023 Scholarship Program

 

 

The NFB of Virginia is pleased to announce the launch of its James F. Nelson
merit scholarship program for the academic year 2023-2024. Up to three
scholarships of $2500.00 will be awarded based on academic achievement,
community engagement, and leadership potential.  One of these three
scholarships will be directly pledged to a qualifying freshman or sophomore.


 

The NFB of Virginia believes that all blind and vision-impaired students who
apply for a James F. Nelson scholarship can benefit from the experience of
attending the State Convention.  The NFBV will cover the reasonable costs
associated with attending the convention for all eligible applicants,
including a room at the hotel shared with a fellow scholarship applicant,
most meals, the cost of registration, and a banquet ticket.  Scholarship
applicants should work with their local chapters to explore transportation
options and should notify the scholarship committee if they encounter any
difficulties.  Convention related expenses will be reimbursed or covered by
the affiliate at the convention.  Please notify the committee if you do not
have access to a credit card or other means of covering pre-convention
costs.  Applicants are expected to pre-register for the gathering to signal
their intentions to attend the state convention, and to assist the
scholarship committee in making hotel reservations. 

 

          

 

Warm Regards,

 

Jimmy Morris MA, NOMCT
