Download MS Word 2025 FCB Application for ACB Stipend
The Florida Council of the Blind is offering a $500.00 (five hundred dollar) stipend to assist eligible individuals to attend the ACB national convention to be held in Dallas, Texas. The Board authorized six stipends so folks should apply quickly. We will award stipends to qualified applicants and when we have awarded six, we will stop. We know that this stipend will not fully cover anyone's expenses at the convention, but we know it will assist those who would welcome the chance to be there! The form lists individuals who are not eligible. It also indicates what you need to do to qualify.
We do not expect a candidate to write a lot but want to know a little about each applicant. Applicants must complete their application and it must be submitted no later than May 30. No handwritten applications will be accepted. Applications should be sent to the Chair of the ACB Stipend Committee at sheilayoung125@att.net or can be mailed to 2304 Amherst Avenue, Orlando, FL 32804, or submit the below online application. A committee has been appointed to consider applications. A decision will be made no later than June 10 2025. Funds will be paid immediately after the convention to those who are supported and who do what is expected of them at the convention.
FCB is pleased to be able to offer these stipends and hopes that everyone who attends the national convention will bring enthusiasm, participation and information back to our affiliate.
If you need any further information, feel free to email Sheila at sheilayoung125@att.net, or call 321-663-8893.
