Cystic Fibrosis Programs Offered in Canada

The Vertex Foundation Scholarship Program provides up to $5000 CAD to help people with CF and their immediate family members (including spouses, siblings, caregivers, and children) pursue two-year, three-year, four-year, or graduate degrees.

Scholarship recipients are chosen by an independent committee of CF community members based on a submitted essay and an applicant’s demonstrated level of community involvement and academic achievement. 

To be eligible to apply, applicants must be:

• Anticipating enrolment as a part-time or full-time first year, second year, third year, fourth year, or graduate student of a post-secondary program in Fall 2023, in good academic standing
• A person who has been diagnosed with CF or their immediate family member (spouse, sibling, caregiver, or child)
• A legal resident of Canada
   

Application Status: Open
