District 27-A2 Lions Diabetes Awareness Scholarship
Diabetes is a difficult, chronic disease that many suffer from in their lifetimes.
People with diabetes face many struggles day-to-day that others don’t have to think about, such as monitoring their blood sugar, thinking carefully about what they eat, and diligently taking insulin or other medications. The stress and symptoms of diabetes can make it difficult to focus on academic responsibilities or other tasks, making encouragement vital to succeeding in school.
This scholarship seeks to support students who have been impacted by diabetes as they prepare to transition from high school to college.
Any high school senior who has been impacted by diabetes, whether personally or through a family member, may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us how your experience with diabetes has impacted you and how you think it will affect your future.
