NFBL Scholarship Deadline Reminder

Greetings All,

Just a friendly reminder that the deadline for submitting a National Federation of the Blind of Louisiana scholarship application is only two weeks away—March 15. If you or someone you know is a legally blind Louisiana resident and planning to attend an accredited institution of higher learning (e.g., college, university, technical school) in the fall of 2013, you need to act quickly if applying. If you have not already done so, you can find the application on our affiliate's website at www.nfbla.org. If that presents difficulty for you or you have additional questions after looking at the document, please either call or email me.

Wishing each of you a great weekend!
