The “Submission Checklist” on our website lists the full set of requirements and the FAQ page provides additional information on what the scholarship committee expects to find in a winning application packet. <br> <br>More good news – In addition to this national scholarship program, many of our state affiliates have their own scholarship program for blind students living in their state or attending college in their state. When you contact your state’s NFB president to set up your personal interview, be sure to discover whether the state affiliate has a statewide scholarship program. (You must request the interview before the deadline; the interview itself may take place after the deadline if you and the president wish.) For contact information, go to <a href="http://www.nfb.org/">www.nfb.org</a>, then to FAST FACTS, then tap on the Presidents List and follow the links to your state.<br> <br>Cordially,<br> <br>Patti Chang, Esq.<br>Chairperson, NFB Scholarship Committee<br>NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND<br> at Jernigan Place<br>200 East Wells Street</span>, Baltimore, MD 21230 <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Office: (410) 659-9314, x2415 <br>E-mail:</span> <a href="mailto:scholarships@nfb.org">scholarships@nfb.org</a> <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Website: <a href="http://www.nfb.org/scholarships">www.nfb.org/scholarships</a><br><b> <br></b>P.
