2009 Scholarship Fund Recipients

The 2010 National Conference Scholarship Fund demonstrated an overall growth in applications received, funds raised, and scholarships awarded compared to 2009.  Thanks to the generosity of those who contributed to the Walter A. Coyle Memorial Scholarship Fund, the Susan Marie Scleroderma Foundation, the Michele Booth Memorial Scholarship Fund, and the national scholarship fund, this year's total contributions increased from approximately $16,000 in 2009 to $26,000 in 2010 thus allowing the Foundation to provide an additional 10 scholarship awards this year. 

The Foundation would like to thank the Scholarship Committee, chapter and support group leaders and staff, and all those who contributed to the development and success of the 2010 Scholarship Fund.  Together, we have provided hope and opportunity to many members of the global scleroderma community!
