Below is the information about the NFB national scholarship. I was a national scholarship winner a few years ago. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I strongly recommend applying. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

plus additional gifts to each winner<br>
<br>
</font><font>The deadline to submit the application form and all

is still plenty of time, especially if you have the other required
documents ready to upload from your computer to the online application

<br>
We prefer DOC, DOCX, and RTF file formats, though we accept PDF. We
prefer PDF for school transcripts and SAT/ACT scores. We also
accept documents via mail or as attachments to an email.<br>
<br>
Students, it is never too early to begin to assemble your
documents. Please read the details on the 2012 program right now by
going to our website at
<a href="http://www.nfb.org/scholarships" target="_blank">www.nfb.org/scholarships</a>.
The “Submission Checklist” on our website lists the full set of
requirements and the FAQ page provides additional information on what the
scholarship committee expects to find in a winning application
packet. <br>
<br>
More good news – In addition to this national scholarship program, many
of our state affiliates have their own scholarship program for blind
students living in their state or attending college in their state. When
you contact your state’s NFB president to set up your personal interview,
be sure to discover whether the state affiliate has a statewide
scholarship program. (You must request the interview before the
deadline; the interview itself may take place after the deadline if you
and the president wish.) For contact information, go to
<a href="http://www.nfb.org/" target="_blank">www.nfb.org</a>, then to FAST FACTS, then
tap on the Presidents List and follow the links to your state.<br>
<br>
Cordially,<br>
<br>
