[NABS-L] Discussion Starter

[Roanna Bacchus]

Hi Johna thanks for your message. Each year the Visual Aid Volunteers Of Florida gives a scholarship to blind students. This award honors Doctor Abraham Nemeth who invented the Nemeth code that is used for mathematics in braille. I wrote my essay and sent into the committee along with my application. I wrote about why I wanted to go to college.

For this one, I want to focus on scholarships and fellowships. Are there any scholarships or fellowships you’re thinking of applying for? Have you already been awarded a scholarship or fellowship? Do you know any tips and/or tricks to writing a great scholarship essay? For me personally, I am currently applying for a Gilman Study Abroad Scholarship in hopes of studying psychology abroad this coming summer. I think the most important thing about the essay is to research your field and any potential programs and include that in your application essay.
