McDonald Fellowship Program

The 2024 NFB National Convention is an experience you do not want to miss.

Many of those who have attended our national NFB conventions are amazed at how meeting and interacting with over 3000 other blind and low vision convention attendees has positively changed their lives. They not only learn how the problems of vision loss can be overcome, but also experience the confidence that comes with solutions.

If you have never attended a convention, we offer two programs to assist you in attending the convention and getting the most from the experience.

• A) McDonald Fellowship organized by the National Federation of the Blind of Virginia
• B) Kenneth Jernigan Scholarship run by the National Federation of the Blind

First time in-person convention attendees are strongly encouraged to apply for both.

Unfortunately, the deadline for both programs was April 15. We encourage you to bookmark this page to check back next year for information about applying.

Visit the national convention landing page for more information about this year's convention.

If you have additional questions, please contact President Tracy Soforenko.
