180 Medical Scholarship
http://www.180medical.com/scholarships
180 Medical is honored to have started a scholarship program to help those with transverse myelitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, neuromyelitis optica, spina bifida and spinal cord injuries.
Realizing the financial burdens that exist for many of these families, we’ve developed the 180 Medical Scholarship Program to honor these young adults who pursue goals of higher education.
