Hey Lee,



Below is information on our new AFB Scholars Program. I'd love to see some
West Virginia kids receive these funds.

The AFB Scholars Program webpage is now live! This new program, supported
by the Lulu J. Alonso Scholarship Fund, provides financial assistance and
professional development opportunities for blind students pursuing higher
education.

The program offers three scholarship levels:

   - *Community College* – $8,000
   - *Undergraduate* – $20,000
   - *Graduate* – $28,000

AFB Scholars will have access to mentorship, professional networking, and
conference opportunities to support their future careers. The application
period runs from *February 10 to March 21, 2025*.

Please feel free to share this opportunity with any eligible students. You
can find full details here:

Let me know if you have any questions!
