I heard there's a Livestrong scholarship for asthmatic college students. I'm asthmatic myself, so I was wondering if anyone has details about this scholarship or how to apply for it.
I believe there may be some confusion. As far as I know, Livestrong, an organization primarily associated with cancer support and advocacy, does not offer a scholarship specifically for asthmatic students.
Nevertheless, there are other scholarships available for students with asthma. For example, the “Will Win” Asthma Scholarship Program is a scholarship opportunity for students who have been diagnosed with asthma. The AAFA New England Chapter offers the scholarship, and applicants must be high school seniors in New England who have achieved academically and have given back to their community.
The Scholarship for Asthmatic Students from Healthline and Allergy & Asthma Network is another potential scholarship. This scholarship is available for undergraduate or graduate students with asthma who are creating awareness about asthma.
Remember, scholarships often have specific requirements beyond a medical condition, such as a minimum GPA, activities, or community service, so you should check each scholarship’s specific criteria before applying.
Before starting the application process, gather all necessary documents such as transcripts or medical records to verify your eligibility. Make sure to write a compelling personal statement, where you share your unique story and how asthma has impacted your life.
Hopefully, this provides you with a good starting point, and I encourage you to apply to all scholarships you qualify for—every bit can help reduce the cost of your education.
