[Nfbnet-members-list] Announcing the NFBV 2014 Scholarship Program for College Students

[Jennifer Kennedy]

Fellow Federationist,

I am pleased to announce The National Federation of the Blind of
Virginia (NFBV) will once again award up to three James F. Nelson, Jr.
scholarships in the amount of $1,500 at the organization's annual
state convention to be held at the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina,
located at 707 Settlers Landing Road, Hampton, Virginia 23669. I have
attached the application form so that you can easily promote this
fabulous program to any blind college student who is either a resident
of Virginia or a college student attending a college or university
here in the Commonwealth.

The National Federation of the Blind of Virginia is an organization
dedicated to creating equality, opportunity, and security for all
blind people. To that end, winners of NFBV James F. Nelson, Jr.
scholarships need not be members of the National Federation of the
Blind of Virginia. The Committee will consider applicants for all
eligible scholarships with one application. Individuals who have
applied in previous years are encouraged to apply again.

The Scholarship Committee, consisting of successful blind college
graduates, will review all applications and select the scholarship
recipients. The Committee will notify finalists by telephone on or
before October 7, 2014. All decisions of the Scholarship Committee are
final.
	
To be eligible for these awards, each applicant must:

*	Be legally blind;
*	Be a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia or be attending school
in the commonwealth;
*	Be pursuing--or planning to pursue--a full-time, postsecondary course
of study in the 2014 - 2015 academic year; and
*	Participate in the entire NFBV state convention and in all scheduled
scholarship program activities to be held November 7 - 9, 2014 in
Hampton, Virginia.

Deadline: The scholarship chairwoman must receive all documentation on
or before September 25, 2014.

If you have additional questions, please contact the scholarship
chair, Jennifer Kennedy at msjenniferkennedy at gmail.com or by telephone
at 330-465-6245.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
