National Federation of the Blind of Virginia

2024 Scholarship Program

 

 

The NFB of Virginia is pleased to announce the launch of its James F. Nelson
merit scholarship program for the academic year 2024-2025. 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. 

 

Eligibility - Applicants must: 

 

. Be legally blind or have a visual impairment that qualifies them to
receive services under IDEA or from a state vocational rehabilitation
program 

 

. Be a resident of Virginia, or attending a Virginia accredited institution
of higher education full-time 

 

. Plan to pursue a full-time, postsecondary course of study in the 2024-2025
academic year 

 

. Participate in the entire NFB of Virginia in-person state convention in
Portsmouth,  Virginia and participate in all scheduled scholarship program
activities to be held on October 31st to November 3rd, 2024.
