Lincoln, NE (May 1, 2017). The National Federation of the Blind of Nebraska
today announces the 2017 NFBN Scholarship Program and the immediate release
of its application form.

Are you a legally blind college student living in Nebraska? This annual
program offers 5 scholarships ranging in value from $250.00 to $1,000 to
eligible students from high school seniors beginning their freshman year in
the fall semester of 2017 up through grad students working on their PhD.
These merit scholarships are based on academic excellence, community
service, and leadership. In addition to the money, each winner will receive
an all- expense paid trip to the NFBN state convention in Norfolk, NE from
October 13th through 15th,  2017,  and the chance to compete for one of
five scholarships awarded by the state affiliate and various chapters and
divisions within the NFB of Nebraska.

Anyone who has ever attended an NFBN convention will be proud to attest to
its ability to be a positive, life changing experience.

To apply, read the rules and the submission checklist, complete the
official 2017 Scholarship Application Form (online or in print), supply all
required documents, and request and complete one interview with the NFBN
affiliate president.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
