Boomer Esiason Foundation Scholarship Program Scholarships Awarded Quarterly Deadlines: March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
The Boomer Esiason Foundation ("BEF" or "the Foundation") is creating a scholarship fund to assist cystic fibrosis ("CF") patients pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees. As therapeutic developments increase the lifespan of CF patients, the need for a scholarship program for these students has emerged. Please consider helping the Foundation to initiate and develop this program over the next two years. Overview of the Scholarship Program Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of demonstrated need and academic accomplishment. BEF’s target is to grant 10 to 15 scholarships each year to CF patients with academic goals. Grants will be made directly to the academic institution to assist in covering the cost of tuition and fees. The BEF Scholarship Program would offer grants ranging from $500 to $2,000. (PLEASE NOTE: THE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE FOR ONE YEAR ONLY). Scholarships will be awarded quarterly (March-June-September-December). Candidate Evaluation The nominee's scholastic ability, character, leadership potential, service to the community, and need for financial assistance, will be considered by the BEF Scholarship Program committee when selecting recipients. Applicants are required to provide a letter from a social worker stating their needs as well as a detailed breakdown of tuition costs from their academic institution. Furthermore, candidates must submit a one-page essay stating their post-graduation goals. Once the candidates have been selected as potential scholarship recipients, they will be granted a phone interview with a committee member.
