Inside MS, Jan-March, 2003

In the most recent issue of InsideMS (October-December 2002), we announced the National MS Society Scholarship Program, created to assist people and families living with MS who cannot afford higher education. The assistance will come in the form of $1,000-$3,000 scholarships, and the Society will award the first round to successful applicants this May.

A link to the application form can be found on the front page of our Web site. Go to nationalmssociety.org. If you do not have Internet access, please call 1-800-FIGHT-MS [1-800-344-4867] to be connected with your local chapter. Ask a staff member to send a printed application to you. In addition to the completed form, applicants will also be required to submit an essay (explained on the application itself), academic transcripts (e.g., grades from high school), and a statement of need along with information on the applicant's financial situation.
