Hello Tabsters,
Are you looking to win some free money? Well the NFB National
Scholarship is open  for you to apply for.

Please see the details below:

National Federation of the Blind 2015 Scholarship Program
< www.nfb.org/scholarships>
 Deadline: March 31, 2015
 Are you a legally blind college student living in the United States
or Puerto Rico? This annual program offers 30 scholarships worth from
$3,000 to $12,000 to eligible students, from high school seniors
beginning their freshman year in the fall semester of 2015, up through
grad students working on their PhD degrees. These merit scholarships
are based on academic excellence, community service, and leadership.
In addition to the money, each winner will receive assistance to
attend the July 2015 NFB annual convention in Orlando, Florida,
providing an excellent opportunity for high-level networking with
active blind persons in many different professions and occupations.
To apply, read the rules and the Submission Checklist, complete the
official 2015 Scholarship Application Form (online or in print),
supply all required documents, and request and complete one interview
by an NFB affiliate president (unless the president requests a later
date). Applications are accepted for five months, from November 1,
2014, to March 31, 2015. Go to www.nfb.org/scholarships for complete
rules and requirements.

I won this scholarship this year and it was an amazing experience. I
encourage you all to apply

Warm Regards
