What Is National Federation of the Blind Scholarship?
The National Federation of the Blind's national program awarded thirty merit scholarships of $10,000 each for 2026. Selection considers academic excellence, community service, and leadership. Each recipient also receives funding to attend the NFB National Convention, where scholars connect with blind students, professionals, mentors, and Federation leaders.
The program is for legally blind students pursuing postsecondary education in the United States, including graduating high-school seniors. The most recently retrievable national eligibility archive also required U.S., District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico residence, age 18 by the convention, enrollment in a U.S. degree program, and full convention participation if selected; it allowed limited consideration of part-time students. Those exact details must be rechecked for the next cycle.
