Scholarship Money Available to Legally Blind College Bound Students

I got this information in an email and thought I'd pass it on to interested high school students who are college bound and legally blind.

The National Federation of the Blind Scholarship Program application is now available online. This national scholarship program is available solely to persons who are legally blind and living in the United States or Puerto Rico. There are 30 awards, from $12,000 to $3,000. In addition, each winner will be assisted to attend the NFB Annual Convention for 2011 in Orlando, Florida. The annual contest begins the first week of November 2010; all documents required from the applicants must be postmarked by the March 31, 2011, deadline. Applications and full details are available online at http://www.nfb.org/scholarships.

Questions may be emailed to scholarships@nfb.org.
