[Nyabs] Scholarship Opportunities for blind students!

[Alexander Castillo]

Hi all, every year, the national Federation of the Blind awards 30
scholarships to blind students pursuing a degree in the United States.
These Scholarships range from $3,000 to $12,000.

This is a great opportunity to not only receive some cash and cool
tech for your education, but also to network with other blind students
and individuals from all 50 States.

To be eligible for these scholarships you must:

1. be legally blind  in both eyes, and
2. must be residing in the United States, the District of Columbia, or
Puerto Rico, and
3. must be pursuing or planning to pursue a full-time, post-secondary
course of study in a degree program at a United States institution in
the 2011 scholastic
year, except that one scholarship may be given to a person employed
full-time while attending school part-time, and
4. must participate in the entire NFB national convention and in all
scheduled scholarship program activities.
