A program of Beyond Type 1, Diabetes Scholars is aimed at empowering success through education for people living with type 1 diabetes. Diabetes Scholars offers scholarships for T1Ds entering college. Originally founded as the Diabetes Scholars Foundation in 2008, the goal was that – in this one small area of life – diabetes could be an advantage. Since 2008 the Foundation has awarded over $2 million in college scholarships to students with type 1. In 2018, the Diabetes Scholars became a program of Beyond Type 1. Diabetes Scholars has had the privilege of impacting more students than ever before and continues to expand with the help of generous partners and community donors.
