[rehab] Chicago Lighthouse Scholarship Awards - May 7 deadline

[Kelsey Thompson]

If anyone else had difficulty accessing the links in my previous post, the scholarship materials should be available by going to our agency's Web site, www.thechicagolighthouse.org, and selecting the link that says, "2010 Lighthouse Scholarship Application" located on the left side of the main page toward the bottom.  I'm also happy to send the applications out via snail mail or as a PDF attachment in you're interested.

Hi Kelsey,

thank you so much for sharing this terrific information with us.  I am 
currently a graduate student, and I would like to apply for this 
scholarship.  Unfortunately, I was unable to gain access of the scholarship 
application using the web address that you provided us with.  I received a 
message stating that the page was unable to be found.  Therefore, can you 
please email me an attachment of both the Chicago Lighthouse scholarship and 
vision verification form?  Your time and insight is greatly appreciated.

Best Wishes,

Heather
