Information on the 2014 Abbvie Scholarships has been provided to CFFC. The announcement follows:
Going to college or university can be expensive, but for students living with cystic fibrosis (CF), a legacy scholarship can help alleviate the financial burden.
Last week, AbbVie announced that undergraduate and graduate students living with CF can now apply for the AbbVie CF Scholarship. For nearly 25 years, AbbVie’s legacy scholarship program has supported the CF community by providing financial assistance to exceptional undergraduate and graduate students who are pursuing their dreams of higher education.
This year, 40 students will be awarded $2,500 each based on their outstanding academic record, extracurricular activities, and creativity. In honor of the 22nd year of the program, the 40 recipients will compete for public votes to qualify for the title of Thriving Undergraduate or Graduate Student to receive a total scholarship of $22,000 (the original $2,500 scholarship plus an additional $19,500).
Applications will be accepted until Monday, June 9 and are available online now at: www.AbbVieCFScholarship.com/apply.
