AbbVie IBD Scholarship Applications Now Open!

IBD Schholarship applicant expressing excitement

It’s that time of year again! Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is happy to announce the launch of the annual AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program.

Post-secondary schooling is hard enough as it is, add in living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, and life gets that much harder.

That’s where the IBD Scholarship comes in!

For the last 11 years, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada has been giving Canadian post-secondary students the opportunity to receive $5,000 in the form of a scholarship. This year, 15 lucky students will be able to join that list!

The AbbVie IBD Scholarship is a competitive program and takes some time to prepare for… it’s best to get started on your application early!

All applications must be submitted online at www.ibdscholarship.ca. The deadline for eligible students to apply is 11:59 pm EST on June 1, 2022. 

If you have any questions, please reach out! Contact us at info@ibdscholarship.ca.
