The cash value is only one aspect of this prestigious program. The program also provides
funding to travel to and attend the National Federation of the Blind’s national convention
with the opportunity to network with more blind students, to exchange information
and ideas, and to meet and talk with hundreds of blind people who are successfully
working in many occupations and professions."
