<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’s 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’s 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>
