Many families struggle to cope with the financial impact of MS. To assist people affected by MS, and their children, who are pursuing a post-secondary education, we provide scholarships to accredited educational programs. Awards are based on financial need, academic record and a personal essay. We believe strongly that MS should not stand in the way of an education. To be eligible, high school (or GED) graduates must be attending an accredited post secondary school for the first time (first semester).Applications are no longer being accepted for the 2013 MS Scholarship Program.

In Delaware, support for the MS Scholarship program comes from donations to education-designated foundations such as the Eolyne K Tunnell Scholarshp and the Arthur J Stapler Memorial Foundations. Combined, the donations from the Tunnell and Stapler families create a pool of money that specifically supports the higher education of Delaware students whose home life has been affected by MS. The Chapter's goal is to find scholarship funds for all qualifying and deserving Delaware students.
