High school seniors impacted by alzheimer's invited to apply for AFA's Teen Alzheimer's Awareness Scholarship Contest

High school seniors impacted by Alzheimer’s disease can earn up to $5,000 for college through the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s (AFA) Teen Alzheimer’s Awareness Scholarship Contest. Students can enter the contest by visiting www.alzfdn.org/scholarship.

“You’re never too young to make a difference young to make a difference in the lives of others, and teens are showing that every day in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease,” said Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr., AFA’s president and CEO. “Teens across the country are helping to care for loved ones with Alzheimer’s, volunteering at care settings, raising awareness, and even conducting scientific research. We encourage them to share their stories through this scholarship contest.”

“Through the stories and struggles of many teens impacted by Alzheimer’s disease, it is our hope a new generation will use their experiences to bring awareness on the impact of the disease and advocate for more caregiver support and research in the years to come,” said Stephanie Evans Ariker, AFA’s Director of External Relations.
