Adult ADHD Scholarships
ByAdults with ADHD who pursue postsecondary education may run into a lot of frustrations and roadblocks.
Eli Lilly, the makers of Strattera, have announced the 2006 ‘Focus on Your Possibilities Scholarship Program’. This is a program which is set up to provide financial support (up to $5000) to allow an adult with ADHD (25 years old +) to continue on with his or her education.
This is a tremendous initiative to support adults with ADHD to develop their strengths, and to continue on in college or university.
The program has a deadline of October 15, 2006, and you can read all of the details here.

I was wondering if there were any more scholarships that you may know about for students with ADHD. I am 25 years old and am currently obtaining a master’s degree with a 3.8 GPA. I saw Lily RX used to sponsor a program but I had called and they said they no longer do this. Any suggestions?
I really want to continue with my double master’s degree, but would like to get some funding because I am taking a special program this summer to help students like myself improve their study skills.
Any advice/help would be great! Thanks:)
Very useful for struggling adults who need education to be able to work and earn something.
