[nfbwatlk] About the DSB

[hmp]

Thank you very much! Also, I have another question: Does the DSB 
offer any scholarships for high school students who want to go to 
college or continue their education? Do they have any 
programs/services that are offered to people that are graduated 
from high school? Do the DSB help in regards to purchasing a 
noteTaker for people who have limited resources?
