[Tall-Corn] Don't delay, apply today!

Hi Federation Family!

               Here's a reminder of some awesome scholarships that are
available on the national level. Both attending college and the National
Convention of the National Federation of the Blind can be expensive
endeavors; however, the cost is well worth it. There are scholarships that
can help. 

               The first scholarship that I would like to highlight is the
National Federation of the Blind's Scholarship program for students. This
program awards 30 scholarships to blind students ranging from $3,000 to
$12,000. The finalists also get the opportunity to attend National
Convention. More information can be found at 

https://nfb.org/programs-services/scholarships-and-awards/scholarship-progra
m 

               The second scholarship that I would like to bring to your
attention is the Kenneth Jernigan Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded
to active members of the National Federation of the Blind who have never
attended a national convention. More information about this scholarship can
be found by visiting 

https://nfb.org/images/nfb/publications/bm/bm18/bm1811/bm181118.htm 

 

               When applying for both scholarships, I highly recommend
finding a mentor who has applied for these scholarships before and knows the
ins and outs of these. Pleas contact me if you are interested in applying. 

There are a couple of deadlines to note. The deadline for the college
scholarship program is March 31, 2019. The deadline to apply for a Kenneth
Jernigan convention scholarship is April 15, 2019. Please do not delay on
either of these as there are specific steps that need to be followed when
applying, and I play an important role in both processes. The more time I
have to consider your applications and work with you, the better!

I look forward to speaking with you soon! 

Let's go build the federation and let's pack the Iowa delegation at our
national convention with Kenneth Jernigan and national scholarship winners!

 

Cordially;

 

Scott Van Gorp
