The National Kidney Foundation is proud to assist patients with kidney or renal disease in furthering their educational goals. Applications are made available in May each year and are sent directly to Dialysis and Transplant unit social workers.

Recipients of the scholarship and the allocation of funds are decided by a dedicated committee of healthcare professionals and members of the renal community. The grants can range from $500 - $1500 and may be used towards tuition, books and other classroom materials. Funds remain available throughout the school year (fall ­ spring) but do not roll over. Students may be awarded the scholarship up to 4 times.

For more information and deadlines please contact Eboni Stephens, Program Manager at eboni@kidneynca.org or 415.543.3303 x115.
