[nfb-talk] FW: [nfbwatlk] 2012 NFBW Scholarship Winners

[Rovig, Lorraine]

Congratulations to both winners on the state level!  

Here's hoping all your state's college students apply for an NFB national scholarship when the new program opens the first week of November at www.nfb.org/scholarships.  The website is not yet updated from 2012, but there will be no sweeping changes. I suggest folks take a look if they are unfamiliar with what is required of an applicant for the national-level scholarships.

Cordially,

Lorraine Rovig

The scholarship committee met last night and chose this year's scholarship winners. They are: Natalya (Tasha) Budnik of Everett, Wa. and Humberto Avila of Yakima, Wa. Tasha is a Freshman at Everett Community College. Her plan is to take her basic classes there, then transfer to the University of Washington and obtain a Masters Degree in Physical Therapy. Humberto is a Sophomore at Yakima Valley Community College, and has a goal of becoming an Assistive Technology Teacher of blind children. Both of these young people are fine students, and are very appreciative of our assistance. I think that everyone will enjoy getting to know them at convention. 

  

This year, the committee chose the 2 winners, but did not decide on the amount each would receive ($2,000 or $3,000). That decision will be made before the banquet on Saturday evening.  

  

Both Tasha and Humberto are eager to be a part of the Federation. They are both engaging and smart. 

  

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the members of the scholarship committee; Kaye Kipp, Bennett Prows,Maria Bradford and Mike Mello. Everyone worked hard to make this happen. We had excellent applicants, and the committee considered each one carefully. I have spoken to all of the students this morning. 

  

I look forward to seeing  many of you in Everett in October. I think it will be an exciting convention! 

  

Marci Carpenter 

Chairperson 

Scholarship Committee 

NFB of Washington
