Other Sources of Funding National Federation of the Blind Scholarship

Each year at its National Convention in July, the National Federation of the Blind gives a broad array of scholarships to recognize achievement by blind scholars. All applicants for these scholarships must be (1) legally blind and (2) pursuing or planning to pursue a full-time post-secondary course of study in the fall semester in the United States, except that one scholarship may be given to a full-time employee also attending school part-time.

The Federation's program will award thirty scholarships. The program's smallest award is $3,000, and the largest is $10,000.
