National Multiple Sclerosis Society Scholarship | Community Health

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society Scholarship is a program offered by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) to support students living with multiple sclerosis (MS) in pursuing higher education. The scholarship aims to help individuals with MS overcome the financial barriers to education and achieve their academic goals. With a long history of supporting MS research and patient care, the NMSS has been providing scholarships to students with MS since 2001, with over 1,000 students receiving awards totaling more than $1.5 million. The program is open to high school seniors, undergraduates, and graduate students who have been diagnosed with MS or have a parent with MS. The scholarship award ranges from $1,000 to $3,000 per year, and recipients can reapply for up to four years. The NMSS also offers additional resources and support services to help students with MS succeed in their academic pursuits, including academic accommodations, career counseling, and mentorship opportunities. By providing financial assistance and support, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Scholarship helps to empower students with MS to pursue their educational and career goals, and to live fulfilling lives despite the challenges of the disease.
