[Txabs] Fwd: [NFBT] Fwd: [Nfbnet-master-list] National Scholarship Announcement

[jonathan franks]

Hello all,
Please read Norma Crosby and Patty Changs emails in the forwarded messages.

I recently won this scholarship for this year and it is an excellent
opportunity to not only attend National Convention and see the great
things the NFB is doing on a National level, but who doesn't love free
cash?

Best

Good afternoon NFB of Texas members. I hope you all had a wonderful
Thanksgiving holiday. I am forwarding this announcement from our
national scholarship chairperson to each of you so that you can share it
with blind students around the state. If you plan to apply for our
national scholarship program, please let me know so that we can schedule
a time to discuss your application. One of the program requirements is
that students speak with the affiliate president and that he or she
write a letter to the committee regarding each application. If a letter
from me is not in your file, then your application is not complete.

If you, or someone you know, would like to apply, I can be reached at
ncrosby at nfbtx.org <mailto://ncrosby@nfbtx.org> or at 281-331-2525. You
have until March 31, 2015 to apply. However, it would really help me out
if you don't all wait until the last minute to submit an application and
contact me for a letter. If you apply early and make contact with me
soon, I will have plenty of time to get all my letters done in a timely
way. Texas always has a lot of applicants, so I will be extremely
appreciative if you can work with me on this.

The announcement follows my signature, and thanks to each of you for
helping to spread the word.

Norma Crosby, President
National Federation of the Blind of Texas
