The Shire ADHD Scholarship Program was developed and is being
implemented by Shire, a global specialty biopharmaceutical company
that focuses, among other areas, on helping those diagnosed with
ADHD. This unique scholarship program is part of Shire’s effort to
develop opportunities to help support ADHD patients, their families,
and the ADHD community.
Twenty five one-time scholarships will be awarded on August 9th,
2011. For information on the scholarship program, including
eligibility requirements and the application, visit
www.ShireADHDScholarship.com. The deadline to apply is July 7th.
In addition to financial support, Shire recognizes that the
transition to higher education can be particularly challenging for
students. That’s why Shire is partnering with The Edge Foundation, a
leading national nonprofit organization, to offer ADHD coaching
services for each student awarded a Shire ADHD Scholarship.
ADHD Coaching from The Edge Foundation includes weekly sessions with
specially-trained ADHD coaches who are passionate about their work.
The students set weekly goals and action plans to meet those goals
and have e-mail and phone support from their coaches to help keep
them on track. This support may be important in the higher education
environment where they are living independently, have more free time,
and less adult supervision.
The Edge Foundation is a Seattle-based nonprofit organization that
offers supplemental treatment for students with ADHD. Founded by
Neil Peterson in 2005, its mission is to help every child, adolescent
and young adult with ADHD to fully realize their own potential,
personal vision and passion through personal coaching. For more
information on the Edge Foundation, please visit the company’s
website: www.edgefoundation.org.
Shire’s ADHD Scholarship Program is part of Shire’s comprehensive
approach centered on putting patients first by offering treatments
and support designed to help patients, parents, advocates and others
providing care for people diagnosed with ADHD. |
