This information came across my desk yesterday as well. I know I've mentioned this scholarship here before, but here's a reminder as the deadline is coming up.
National Federation of the Blind2009 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 (PDF document) in both eyes, and
must be residing in the United States, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico, 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 2009 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. (Read "More Than Just Money for School" by Anil Lewis [available November 15th])
In addition to a scholarship, each winner will be brought to the 2009 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, 2009, 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
