Announcement:

The National Federation of the Blind of Nebraska is pleased to announce the 2009 NFBN Scholarship Program and the immediate release of its application form.

This scholarship program affords five finalists the excellent opportunity to attend an all expense paid trip to the NFBN state convention in Scottsbluff on October 23rd, 24th, and 25th, and the chance to compete for one of five scholarships awarded by the state affiliate and various chapters and divisions, from within the NFB of Nebraska. The National Federation of the Blind of Nebraska will be awarding a $1000 scholarship. In addition, the National Federation of the Blind Lincoln and Omaha Chapters, along with the Nebraska Association of Blind Students will be presenting scholarship awards.
