[blindkid] scholarships for legally blind students pursuing higher education

[Tara Annis]

Please send this scholarship announcement to anyone who may be interested.  I've already sent it to the blind college student listserv (nabs) and to the Blind Talk one.

The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) administers a scholarship program for deserving students.  Each year individuals who are legally blind can apply for financial awards to support their post-secondary education.  Seven scholarships are offered through this program with a potential of eleven recipients.  The application can be filled out online at www.afb.org/scholarships.asp.  The 2012 scholarship program will end on the deadline of April 30, 2012.
