Calling All Students Diagnosed with ADHD – There’s a Scholarship for You!

Shire launches a new initiative to help support educational needs of individuals managing the symptoms of ADHD and going on to higher education.

Students in the United States diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) who are planning to pursue higher education have a new scholarship program opportunity. The Shire ADHD Scholarship includes a monetary award and a prepaid year of ADHD coaching services provided in partnership with the Edge Foundation www.edgefoundation.org to help individuals diagnosed with ADHD making the transition to college, vocational or technical school.

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, 2011.
