MS shouldn’t stand in the way of a college education. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society Scholarship Program, funded by the generosity of individual and corporate donors, offers relief from some of the financial and emotional burdens experienced by families affected by MS by making scholarships available to high school seniors and young adults who haven’t yet begun their post-secondary education. Applicants either have MS themselves or have a parent who has been diagnosed.
$1.1 million were awarded nationally.
