  • Alzheimer’s Foundation offers college scholarship

    For many teenagers, nothing in their lives prepares them for close encounters with an illness that seems so far-removed from their youth — Alzheimer’s disease. Yet the number of teens who witness this brain disorder in their own families or communities continues to grow along with the escalating incidence of Alzheimer’s disease nationwide.
    In an effort to highlight teens’ experiences, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America is encouraging college-bound students to apply for its sixth annual AFA Teens for Alzheimer’s Awareness College Scholarship. The competition is part of AFA’s award-winning AFA Teens division, which is designed to educate and raise awareness among teens about the brain disorder.
