Alzheimer’s Notes

Alzheimer’s Foundation Announces First College Scholarship.

by Liz Lewis on December 16th, 2007

The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America is introducing a ‘AFA Teens for Alzheimer’s Awareness College Scholarship’ in 2008. The $5,000 scholarship is designed to be used in the student’s first year of college.

Interested High School students (juniors and seniors) have to write a 1,200 words essay about ‘the impact Alzheimer’s Disease has one their own lives and what they have learned about themselves, their families and/or their community in coping with the disease.’. The application deadline is February 15th and details can be found at the website.

The AFA Teens website is also a great place for teens to visit to learn more about Alzheimer’s Disease and to connect with other teens also dealing with Alzheimer’s in their family.
