Shire, a global specialty biopharmaceutical company, is again offering its 2013 ADHD Scholarship Program for individuals diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) who are pursuing higher education at a college, vocational school, or technical school.
The Shire ADHD Scholarship includes a $2,000 monetary award and offers a prepaid year of ADHD coaching services from the Edge Foundation to assist the scholarship recipient with the transition to higher education. In addition to weekly coaching sessions, ADHD coaches offer support to students via e -mail and phone to help students meet their goals. This support may be important for students transitioning to the higher education environment because they have more free time and less adult supervision. Fifty scholarships will be awarded in June, and the deadline to apply is March 27.
