FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH A DISABILITY
Scott Wiebe, MDA’s Director of Community Programs, is thrilled that applications for MDA Scholarships are opening soon.
The highly competitive scholarships
pay up to $5,000 for first-year awardees and $2,500 for existing recipients who
renew the scholarship.
“The scholarships are based on merit
in leadership and community involvement,” Scott says.
Now in its third year, the program
receives about 200 applications and awards scholarships to the top 10 ranked
applicants.
MDA Scholarships are not just for high
school seniors — anyone with a neuromuscular disease who is in college, a trade
school, or a vocational program is eligible.
Scott is proud that MDA is making a
positive impact by being part of the support system for scholars with
disabilities who are tomorrow’s business leaders, disability rights attorneys,
physical therapists, and more.
