[Mn-abs] April 15 Deadline for 2013 NFB of Minnesota Scholarships Approaches

[Steve Jacobson]

The April 15 deadline is approaching for our scholarships.  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 but the deadline for national scholarships is March 31.  However, the national program is worth remembering for next year.  You can still see 
information on our national scholarships at

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

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
NFB of Minnesota Scholarship Committee
