SolvayCARES Helps Students With Cystic Fibrosis Realize Their Dreams of Attending College
Every year since 1993, SolvayCARES (inspired by the work done by Solvay Pharmaceuticals to help CF patients), has given scholarships to students with Cystic Fibrosis who wanted to further their education.
This year, SolvayCARES will award a total of 40 scholarships to qualified students. In addition to writing an inspiring essay, the criteria are:
- Creativity
- Academic Excellence
- Community Involvement
- Financial Need
- Ability to Serve as a role model for the CF community
The finalists will have their essays posted on the SolvayCARES Web site. Visitors to the site can then vote on their favorite story. The SolvayCARES "Thriving Student Achiever" Scholarship winner whose story receives the most votes will be awarded a $10,000 scholarship. The other 39 finalists will each receive a $2,500 scholarship.
The SolvayCARES "Thriving Student Achiever" Scholarship is just another way of showing students with CF that their dreams of going to college don't have to be abandoned.
Note: Finalists have the option to not participate in the voting phase of the scholarship competition.
