Hi Sherrill, 
    I just read the list of national scholarship winners. I am just so happy
that Nallym Bravo is one of the winners, Nallym, you are quite an amazing
young woman. Carlos tells me about all of the many varied activities in
which you are active as a member or a leader. Besides, you have done well
academically as well. Way to go! Your many Florida Federationists will be
cheering you on when you are in Texas. I do firmly believe that you have a
very bright future ahead in the years to come. 

Blessings,

Kathy Davis

forging a path in disciplines as varied as
climatology, software development, special education, law, and

we, the blind of this nation, can compete on
terms of equality with our sighted peers, and we are very
proud of their accomplishments."

In July each winner will attend the NFB's
seventy-second annual national convention in
Dallas, Texas, where the Scholarship Committee will spend several
days getting to know each student and then decide
which scholarship (ranging in value from $3,000
to $12,000) to award each of them. The scholarship winners
will then be announced at the banquet of the NFB
convention on Thursday, July 5.
