AbbVie Pharmaceuticals has opened the application period for their 2023 CF Scholarship program. Here’s the text of the announcement.
I’m happy to share that AbbVie has announced the start of the application period for the 2023 AbbVie CF Scholarship program, continuing its tradition of celebrating students with cystic fibrosis (CF) as they pursue higher education and their dream careers. For over 30 years, the program has awarded over $3.8 million in scholarships to deserving students nationwide.
Close to 40,000 people in the U.S are living with CF, and over half of this population is age 18 or older. Thanks to improvements in specialized CF care since the 1950s, adults with CF can achieve their life goals, which may include attending college, pursuing their professional goals, getting married, and starting a family.
AbbVie will select 40 exceptional applicants to receive $3,000 for use during the 2023-2024 academic year based on their creativity, academic excellence, community involvement, and the ability to serve as a positive role model for the CF community. These 40 students will also be given the opportunity to compete for an additional $22,000 for use toward education-related expenses through one of two AbbVie CF Scholarship award categories: Thriving Undergraduate Student and Thriving Graduate Student.
Applications will be accepted now through May 24, 2023 and are available online at: www.AbbVieCFScholarship.com. Students can apply online or complete and mail a printed application.
