Scholarship Program
MS shouldn't stand in the way of an education. This is why the National MS Society's scholarship program exists—to help highly qualified students who have been diagnosed with MS or who have a parent with MS achieve their dreams of going to college. To qualify, students must be attending post-secondary school for the first time.
Scholarship applications for 2009 awards will be available October 1, 2008. Applications may be submitted from October 15, 2008 through January 15, 2009 and scholars receive notice in May 2009. For detailed information, guidelines and application information, click here.
