If you or someone you love is living with diabetes, you already know the fight isn’t just medical—it’s financial, too. Between daily supplies, doctor visits, and long-term care, the cost of managing type 1 or type 2 diabetes can be overwhelming. Add college or trade school into the equation, and suddenly staying healthy competes with building a future. That’s where scholarships for students with diabetes—like Beyond Scholars and others listed here—step in.
Whether you’re headed to a university, a two-year college, or a hands-on trade program, these opportunities were created to ease the load.
Beyond Scholars (from Beyond Type 1): $10,000 for recently graduated high school seniors with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes entering college or trade school. This is one of the largest needs-based diabetes scholarships in the United States. This year, awardees will also receive 6 months of wellness coaching through Risely Health.
