Diabetes Scholars
Scholarship Sponsored by Diabetes Scholars Foundation
In 2019, Diabetes Scholars will be awarding close to 50 individual scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 each. We offer general scholarships open to high school seniors headed to college/university in 2019 living with Type 1 diabetes. We also offer a set of scholarships with unique parameters like prospective major, geographic location, or excellence in athletics or the arts.
There is one application to be considered for any and all of the scholarships – all students who fill out the application will be considered for those scholarships that match them.
