Subject [Ohio-Talk] Join me in Congratulating our 2023 National 
Scholarship Finalist, Trisha Kulkarni!!!

Ohio family,

It is with great excitement that I share with you that one of our very 
own, Trisha Kulkarni from Dayton, Ohio has been selected as one of 
thirty National Federation of the Blind scholarship finalists!!!

Many of us know and love Trisha, but for those that do not know her, she 
has been serving as the President of the National Association of Blind 
Students for nearly three years now, along with many other prestige’s 
positions such as on the NFB National Steering Committee, Resolutions 
Committee, and more.

Trisha recently completed her bachelor of science in computer science at 
Stanford University, and is returning to Stanford in the fall to obtain 
her masters. During this past year, she has been working tirelessly at 
the Louisiana Center for the Blind in a 9 month intensive blindness 
skills program, and will be graduating from LCB next week. This summer, 
Trisha will be interning under the chair of the Equal Employment 
Opportunity Commission, where she will be working to improve the 
fairness of employment discrimination cases.  This incredible 
opportunity takes her to Washington DC! Looking into the future, Trisha 
will be pursuing a strong career in Educational Technology!

I could go on and on about Trisha’s accomplishments, but what sticks out 
as especially special with this scholarship is that she will be a 
Tenbrook Fellow. A Tenbrook fellow is someone who will be receiving the 
NFB National scholarship for a second time, which is a title that very 
few can say they hold. Trisha was awarded the national scholarship back 
in 2018 as an incoming first year at Stanford, and now she will be 
awarded it again going into her first year as a masters student.

Please join me in congratulating Trisha’s selection as a 2023 NFB 
National Scholarship finalist! If you are attending our national 
convention in July, you can expect to hear a lot more about her!

Our Ohio family is strong, with a great diversity in talent. Trisha is 
an example of such talent, and we are all so so proud of her for what 
she has done, and equally what she will do in the future!
