Summary

Overview

National Federation of the Blind of Louisiana The National Federation of the Blind of Louisiana provides a network of support and encouragement and promotes an understanding of the real problems of blindness... the attitudes and misconceptions which we and the general public have about blindness. We believe that with training and opportunity (and these are important) the average blind or visually impaired person can lead a perfectly normal life--not just dream about it. National Federation of the Blind of Louisiana Scholarships Each year at its State Convention, the National Federation of the Blind of Louisiana (NFBL) awards merit-based scholarships to recognize the achievement of blind scholars. Previous winners of NFBL scholarships and others who have applied in the past are encouraged to reapply.
