Please consider applying for this scholarship. Bill Showman, OU-C master's 
student received this award when he went to the conference for the first time 
2 years ago. It is a great opportunity to lobby congress on behalf of persons 
with disabilities.

 TO:                   NRA Members 

  

  

FROM: Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â Beverlee Stafford , Executive Director 

  

  

SUBJECT: Â  Â  Â  Â  Tom Stewart Memorial Fund and Application for 
Scholarship 

  

  

Many of you remember Tom Stewart, who served as NRA's Government Affairs 
Director for a number of years. Â After Tom passed away in 2002, NRA 
created the Tom G. Stewart Memorial Scholarship Fund. Â The Fund was 
established in his memory but also to honor Tom's strong belief in the 
important role that advocates play in forming public policy. Â The 
purpose of the Fund is to provide support for the participation of 
first-time attendees to the NRA Governmental Affairs Conference. Â  

  

Interested individuals can apply for use of the scholarship fund to pay 
for all or part of the expense of attending the 2010 NRA Governmental 
Affairs Conference that will be held March 14-16, 2010 in Alexandria, 
Virginia. Â The NRA Treasurer, Robert Cox, and the NRA Executive Director 
will review all applications and will make recommendations to the NRA 
Executive Committee as to the number and amount of awards to be 
presented. 

  

I have attached two forms to this email. Â First, I have attached a 
Donation form if you are interested in making a contribution to the Tom 
Stewart Memorial Scholarship Fund. Â Next, I have attached the 
application for a scholarship from the Fund. Â Please note that 
applicants for such a scholarship must meet the following critieria: 

  

(1) Â  Â  Applicant must be a member in good standing of the National 
Rehabilitation Association; and 

(2) Â  Â  Applicant must be attending the NRA's Governmental Affairs 
Conference for the first time. 

  

Applications should be received at the NRA national office by January 
15, 2010 - although, that date may be extended. 

  

Please consider making a contribution so that we can fund several 
individuals to attend the conference. Â Also, please encourage your 
colleagues who have not attended the Conference in the past to consider 
applying for the scholarship funds. 

  

Thanks.
