Living with a family member who has a mental illness can have a significant impact on children living in the home. Many become caregivers for their parent or grandparent and take on additional household responsibilities like caring for younger siblings to support the family. These added duties can create stress and distraction for children wanting to pursue higher education. If you are a high school senior living in a household with a parent, sibling, or grandparent who suffers from a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar, schizophrenia, autism, Alzheimer's, or other brain disorders, and wish to further your education at a college or university, vocational or job training, or online learning, we encourage you to apply for a $500 scholarship today. Applications are accepted nationwide and the deadline for submission is June 1 of each year.
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS MUST SUBMIT A ONE-PAGE (500-WORD MAXIMUM) ESSAY EXPLAINING THE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OR EXTREME CHALLENGES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE EXPERIENCED AS THE CAREGIVER OF SOMEONE SUFFERING FROM MENTAL ILLNESS. TELL US HOW YOU MET THIS CHALLENGE IN YOUR DAILY LIFE. PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE WHAT ADVICE YOU WOULD GIVE OTHER STUDENTS IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS AND/OR PEOPLE/ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE HELPED YOU OR YOUR FAMILY COPE. HOW HAS THIS EXPERIENCE SHAPED YOU? HAS THIS AFFECTED WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO PURSUE IN COLLEGE/TRADE SCHOOL?
