> Time passes more quickly than one sometimes thinks, and the deadline for scholarship applications is drawing nearer.  Attached are two documents that 
> contain information and an application for the state scholarship program of 
> the National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota.  Please distribute as widely as possible to legally blind Minnesotans 
>    pursuing a post-secondary education.  
> 
> The application and associated information are made available here as a "PDF" document and a ".DOC" Microsoft 
> Word document.  The "PDF" document is ideal for printing additional paper copies while the Microsoft Word 
> document provides a means to supply information in electronic form which is generally easier for those using assistive technology 
> such as screen readers.    
> 
> If you have any questions about our scholarship program, please contact the scholarship committee chairperson as 
> follows:
> 
> Sheila Koenig, State Scholarship Chairperson
> e-mail:  shekoenig at comcast.net
> 
> or refer to the attached document for additional contact information.  Applications for the Minnesota scholarship 
> program must be received no later than April 15.  
> 
> In addition to the two NFB of Minnesota scholarships, our national organization is awarding thirty separate national 
> scholarships with values ranging up to $12,000.  One application can be used to apply for all of the national 
> scholarships, but the application for the national scholarships is not part of the attached application for our Minnesota 
> scholarship.  The application process for the national and state scholarships are independent; thus, candidates must 
> complete and submit applications separately when applying to both scholarship programs.  
> 
> More information on the national scholarships and the application can be obtained at
> 
> http://www.nfb.org/scholarships
> 
> Part of the application process for the national scholarships is to be interviewed by the president of our state 
> organization, Jennifer Dunnam.  She can be contacted by e-mail at
> 
> jennifer.dunnam1829 at gmail.com
> 
> or reply to this note and I will assist.  Unlike our state application, national scholarship applications must be received by 
> March 31.
> 
> Finally, please visit our web site to learn more about the successes achieved and the challenges faced by blind Minnesotans.  You can find the NFB of 
> Minnesota web site at
> 
> http://www.nfbmn.org
> 
> and we hope to meet you there.

> Thank you very much for assisting us to reach perspective blind applicants.
