The Achievement Scholarship for Students with a History of Chronic Illness will be awarded to students who must have experienced a health-related issue documented by a medical professional, which lasted at least six months and impaired the individual's ability to pursue his or her education. Applicants may be graduating seniors or former graduates of any high school in the state of Delaware. Preference will be given to those enrolled in the First State School or any of its branches prior to or at the time the health-related issue occurred. Past awardees are eligible to reapply. Documentation will need to be provided by a medical professional documenting the illness and its impact on the applicant's ability to attend school. Diagnoses on prescription pads are not sufficient. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Delaware Community Foundation for more information.
