2025 STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Jim’s Team 4 Diabetes Foundation offers College Scholarships for up to $500 for students with Type 1 Diabetes. To be eligible, the applicant must be a senior attending high school in the USA that will graduate in the year 2025.
As well, current undergraduate students from around the country that are enrolled at a four-year accredited college, university, technical, or trade school during the 2025 calendar year, are eligible to apply for a Scholarship award to help with expenses that can be applied towards their Diabetes equipment and supplies needed for school.
The physical and emotional trials of being a student with T1D are well documented. Managing such a chronic disease has inherent challenges, but having to prioritize that within the context of a college experience can be very difficult.
Our Foundation looks forward to recognizing students that are demonstrating the ability to not only successfully manage their personal diabetes care but are achieving great results with their school studies and activities in pursuit of their career dreams.
Deadline: May 16, 2025
