CFCareForward Scholarship
This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the CFCareForward scholarship program that has honored young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) as they pursue their dreams while living with a chronic disease. The program has now provided supplemental educational funding via more than 500 scholarships to students who are also challenged by the financial burden of their disease, enabling them to achieve their goals of higher education.
I was honored to receive a CF scholarship in college that eased the financial burden, and am thrilled to spread the word to other individuals with CF who could benefit from this wonderful scholarship program!
To celebrate the 20th year of the Scholarship, two $20,000 scholarships will be awarded to one undergraduate and graduate student for use during the 2012-2013 academic year. Forty students will be awarded a $2,500 Scholarship based on their achievements, essay and creative presentation submitted with the application. These students will then go on to compete in an online public voting contest to be named one of this year’s two Thriving Students.
Applications will be accepted until April 17, 2012 and are available online now at: www.CFCareForwardScholarship.com/apply.
About CFCareForward: Abbott is honored to continue the nearly 25-year commitment of helping people with CF manage their health. The CFCareForward program provides comprehensive nutritional, educational and financial support for patients living with CF and their families.
