complete and incomplete applicants from your state. You can find the list
of applicants at any time by logging into your portal

Overview of the Program

Each year, we award an array of scholarships to invest in the future of
blind people who demonstrate scholastic aptitude, leadership, and service.

Beyond the $10,000 cash award, each winner receives:

   - Funding to travel to and attend our national convention.
   - During convention, they have the opportunity to network with other
   blind students to exchange information and ideas.
   - Meet and talk with hundreds of blind people who are successfully
   working in many occupations and professions.

Thank You!

Thank you for all that you do to make our Federation the dynamic
organization it is and thank you for making the scholarship program one we
can be proud to run and fund. Please contact me with any questions.

Sincerely,
Cayte Mendez
Scholarship Committee Chair
