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

[Kinshuk Tella]

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!
