Just passing this along - it's a scholarship time of year! If anyone else knows of other scholarships the Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome community might be eligible for, let me know.
Also, NFB state affiliates often offer scholarships using the exact same form. Sometimes they're easier to get than the national ones - I can say that as both a state and a former national scholarship winner.
NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND2008 SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Each year at its national convention in July, the NFB gives a broad array of thirty scholarships to recognize achievement by blind scholars. All applicants for these scholarships:
must be legally blind, and
must be pursuing or planning to pursue a full-time, postsecondary course of study in a degree program at a United States' institution in the 2008 scholastic year, except that one scholarship may be given to a person employed full-time while attending school part-time, and
must participate in the entire NFB national convention and in all scheduled scholarship program activities.
In addition to a scholarship, each winner will be brought to the 2008 National Federation of the Blind Annual Convention in July at Federation expense, providing an excellent opportunity for high level networking with active blind persons in many, many different professions and occupations.
The scholarship application deadline is March 31, 2008, 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
