PAUL DRURY MEMORIAL SIBLING SCHOLARSHIPThe Paul Drury Memorial Scholarship honors a man who achieved so much in the face of cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a disease that an entire family must face head on. The condition many times shapes the lives of not only the patient, but their family members. The scholarship program aims to highlight the support system that is so critical to success in the fight against CF. Cystic fibrosis siblings and children are people who share in the daily battle against CF. They help motivate their family members to remain compliant with medications and, ultimately, help carry some of the burden themselves!
The BEF Scholarship Program committee considers the applicant’s scholastic ability, character, leadership potential, service to the community and need for financial assistance. Each applicant must be an undergraduate or graduate student who has an immediate family member with cystic fibrosis – but does not have cystic fibrosis |

BOWMAN BROTHERS TRADE SCHOLARSHIPMany people with CF are not cut out for college or never went to college due to a deterioration in their health and therefore a trade school is a great “alternative” to engage & educate people with CF with a skill that will lead to a career.

Trade school scholarships solve many of the schooling/career obstacles for people with cystic fibrosis. We are committed to filling the gaps in the community while empowering those to dream big.
This scholarship opportunity is open to adults (18+) living with cystic fibrosis. |
