[nfbwatlk] 2013 NFB of Washington Scholarship Program

[mjc59 at q.com]

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the 2013 National Federation of the Blind of Washington Scholarship Program. Once again this year we will be awarding two scholarships; one for $2,000 and one for $3,000. This is one of the most important programs of our affiliate. These scholarships will be awarded at our state convention banquet on Saturday, October 19th in Everett, Washington. This year's Scholarship Committee members are Doug Trimble, Maria Bradford, Mike Mello, Bennett Prows, Sushil Oswal and I. As you will note in the attached Scholarship Letter students may submit applications via postal mail or email. The deadline for applying is Friday, September 13th.  In addition to their scholarship, students will receive a full convention  grant and will attend the entire weekend. Previous applicants and winners are welcome to apply.

Please distribute the attached letter and application as widely as possible. Make sure to include the letter as it contains instructions for completing ALL of the requirements. We will be sending this information to teachers of blind children, DSB counselors and college disability services offices. We will also be using social media to spread the word and encourage you to do the same. 

Please contact me if you have any questions.
