The MS Society of Canada is pleased to announce a new scholarship program available for youth affected by multiple sclerosis in Canada.  Given that you may have students within your school board/district affected by MS, we are sharing the information and the attached posters in the hopes you will be able to help spread the word about this exciting and highly lucrative scholarship. If you could pass this email to the person responsible for communication to principals, guidance counsellors, etc. that would be greatly appreciated.

The John Helou Scholarship will award up to two Canadian youth with the financial support they need to overcome the financial obstacles that come with a personal or familial diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, enabling them to reach their full potential and become the next generation of MS leaders. The recipients must be enrolled in a science, technology, engineering or math undergraduate program. Recipients of the John Helou Scholarship will receive $6,250/year for four years to apply to tuition– for a total scholarship of $25,000.

Applications are being accepted for this scholarship between now and March 31, 2016 at https://juno.aucc.ca/app/mssociety.html. Please see the attached posters for additional information including eligibility criteria. The information can also be found on our website: www.mssociety.ca/scholarships.

The John Helou Scholarship is available solely due to the generous financial support of Pfizer and Innovative Medicines Canada.
