Does anyone know if there any scholarships for people with UC or J-pouches?

I would check with the Crohns / Colitis Foundation: http://www.ccfa.org

What a great idea Tammie!!!!

I've been wondering the same thing about scholorships. i had to put off college for a couple years because of all the surgeries and stuff, butam now starting back up. i have never been able to find any scholorships relating to UC or Chron's, but if anyone finds anything, let us colllege people know.

There is an academic scholarship my daughter applied for called Crohns and Me for those entering or in college who have Crohns disease. It requires an essay. I realize most on this site have UC and it is specifically for those with Crohns. I would highly recommend everyone going to the site (just google Crohns and Me scholarship) as you can read the essays from past winners-it is very inspiring!

Check out your local BVR. Some states have them, technically not scholarships, but check out your vocational rehab services, and they might be able to hook you up.They might be able to pay for many things, like the cost, books, and others.

i was searching around and found this "great combacks" site. it is for UC and Crohns people. its not really a scholarship, but an award for anyone. submissions are due on the 15th of july though, so pretty soon. it does not take long. here is the url. http://www.greatcomebacks.com/
