    The National Federation of the Blind offers blind scholars the 
    opportunity to win one of thirty national level scholarships from
    $3,000 to $12,000.  All scholarships are based on academic excellence,

    of Columbia or Puerto Rico; must be pursuing or planning to pursue
    a full-time, postsecondary course of study in a degree program at a 
    United States institution (one scholarship may be given to a person
    employed full-time while attending school part-time); must agree to
    participate in the entire NFB national convention and in all its
    scheduled scholarship program activities. Finalists will receive
