<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Ohio Affiliate,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please join us in congratulating the 2026
NFB of Ohio Affiliate Scholarship Winners: Grace Cho, Makenzie
Love, and Warren Beaumont. These outstanding students
demonstrate determination, leadership, and a commitment to
making a positive impact in their communities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Grace Cho came to the United States from
South Korea and is currently pursuing her Master\u2019s in Vision
Science at the Ohio State University. She is currently
completing her graduate degree in a research lab and
Fellowship. Grace is looking forward to making an impact
through her work on a project focused on pedestrian signal
identification for the blind community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Makenzie Love has pursued her passion for
braille education and has already earned recognition for her
accomplishments, including the 2025 Varsity Award and the
Harley Federman Award for Excellence, during the 2025
International Braille competition. She is currently a
sophomore at Miami University and continues to build an
impressive record of achievement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Warren Beaumont developed a strong interest
in leadership and service after joining the JROTC program in
high school. Although his goal of joining the Navy did not
work out, Warren did not allow that outcome to stop him from
pursuing his goal of becoming a leader. He now serves as a
manager at his school\u2019s dining facility and is currently a
junior at The Ohio State University, pursuing a degree in
English and History.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are proud to recognize Grace, Makenzie,
and Warren as the 2026 NFB of Ohio Affiliate Scholarship
Winners. Their dedication, perseverance, and leadership
inspire us, and we look forward to seeing all they will
accomplish in the future. Congratulations to all three
winners!<o:p></o:p></p>
