Does anyone know if there are any scholarships for bipolar youth?
One thing is for sure, they are certainly deserving. They get good grades, volunteer, participate in extracurricular activities AND battle a brutal disease all at once.
If I had any money, I would set up a scholarship fund for bipolar kids. Anybody out there with money and the desire to do something charitable, this might be your platform.
Think about it. There are scholarships for boy scouts, people of Armenian descent, ballet dancers, football players, children of Lion's Club participants...the list goes on and on. There should be some solid scholarships for bipolar young people.
How would a person qualify? Again, he'd have to be a solid student with a history of acute bipolar disease. He should have a future plan for college and after college. He should be worthy of such an honor.
If you want to set up such a scholarship fund, you might contact NAMI, National Alliance of the Mentally Ill. They might be about to help you.
Think about it. It's such a worthy cause...

i'm 18 i was diagonsed at 13. my parents were divorced and my father basically disowned me because he believed i shouldn't be on medication. i have found only 2 scholarships for kids like me. i had an on-going internal struggle throughout my high school years and still managed to get A's. i am now attending Stony Brook University and am a physics magor with a minor in secondary education and math. it would be great to have the support from others.
