Helping you see your strength

What you don’t know about the Diabetes Scholars Foundation

August 15, 2015 By Scott K. Johnson 8 Comments

The Diabetes Scholars Foundation does amazing work. I hope to introduce you to part of their magic that you may not be aware of.

They are best known for helping people get to CWD’s Friends for Life conferences, and they have helped so many families, young adults, and adults experience these life-changing events that would have been impossible otherwise.

But there’s another important mission of the Diabetes Scholars Foundation that you need to know about – college scholarships.

The Diabetes Scholars Foundation College Scholarships recognize students who are actively involved in the diabetes community, have high academic performance, participate in community and/or extracurricular activities, are leaders in their school and community and demonstrate they are successfully managing the challenges of living with type 1 diabetes. This year alone they received over 2,400 applications from all 50 states.

To date, the Diabetes Scholars Foundation has awarded over $1 Million Dollars in college scholarships to students with type 1 diabetes!

Here’s a fun look at the class of 2015. Congratulations, students! Way to go!
