>Fellow Federationists,
>The National Federation of the Blind will give 30 college 
>scholarships to the nation's top blind students in its 2008 NFB 
>Scholarship Program during our annual convention next year.  These 
>awards include the $12,000 Kenneth Jernigan Scholarship; 1 
>Scholarship for $10,000; 2 Scholarships for $7,000 each; 4 
>Scholarships for $5,000 each; and 22 Scholarships for $3,000 
>each.  Each winner will be brought to the NFB annual convention next 
>July at Federation expense and will receive other useful gifts.
>
>Please help me alert college-bound blind students in your community 
>(along with their teachers and parents) to the availability of these 
>30 scholarships.  If you are an eligible student, please go to 
><blocked::http://www.nfb.org/scholarships>www.nfb.org/scholarships 
>for more information and the online application form.

>The National Federation of the Blind is an organization dedicated to 
>creating opportunity for all blind people.  To that end, recipients 
>of NFB scholarships need not be members of the National Federation 
>of the Blind.  All scholarships are awarded based on academic 
>excellence, community service, and financial need.  Individuals who 
>have previously applied are encouraged to apply again.
>
>Going beyond scholarships, we have a great deal of information that 
>is freely available to any blind or visually impaired student who 
>has problems preventing that student from competing on an equal 
>basis in tasks that others perform with the use of sight.  Please 
>share with these blind students my invitation to e-mail me directly 
>about any such difficulties so that I can help them network within 
>our organization with our problem-solvers.

>Cordially,
