The Dr. Jade Guerra Chronic Disease Recovery Scholarship was founded on our belief in the power of resilience and the human spirit's ability to triumph over adversity. Named in honor of Dr. Jade Guerra, a pioneering advocate for chronic disease awareness, this annual scholarship is a beacon of hope for students who have faced the challenges of chronic illnesses, either as patients themselves or as caregivers to loved ones.
This scholarship awards $1,000 to two students in pursuit of a higher education annually.

Applicants must be either currently enrolled or have been accepted to an accredited institution of higher learning in the USA. International students are invited to apply.
Along with their application, students should provide a link to a 1 to 3 minute video essay sharing how they have overcome being impacted by chronic disease directly or indirectly. Note: It is not a requirement to be on camera for the video.
