Hi.
I submitted an entry for the showcase, but wasn't sure if the showcase was
just for students. I'm not a student, as I'm 80 years old and pretty much
retired. Is the second showcase entry just for students? If so you can
listen to my harmonica solo and then delete it. Otherwise, I'm still
interested.
Mike

Subject: [freelists-midimag] 2 opportunities from Friends in Art
Ladies & gentlemen:
There are 2 opportunities of which I'd like to make you aware. These are
both sponsored by Friends in Art, which is the affiliate of the American
Council of the Blind, who sponsors our list.
The first is a scholarship, available to those who are enrolling in or
already enrolled in postsecondary education related to the arts.
APPLY FOR THE $1500 FRIENDS IN ART ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP Friends-in-Art (FIA),
a nonprofit organization with the mission of creating spaces where
visually-impaired artist and audiences thrive, offers an annual $1500
scholarship to college students who are legally blind and live in the United
States.
If you are a high school senior or a college student planning to, or are
currently majoring in the field of music, art, drama, or creative writing,
and are blind or visually impaired, we encourage you to apply!
Note: Legal blindness is defined as an individual who has a visual acuity of
20/200 or less in the corrected eye and/or 20 degrees or less visual field
in the corrected eye.
To apply, please go to

and click on “Scholarship Application” to fill out the form, which includes
the ability to upload your proof of blindness from a medical professional or
Vocational Rehabilitation counselor.
