In order to be considered for these awards. This application is typically due in April and will be provided here.

PLEASE NOTE: There are many excellent search engines that help students seek scholarship opportunities. The list below includes awards that have been sent to NBPS, directly or indirectly, but cannot be considered a comprehensive list of all of the college scholarships that exist. Our website displays awards with upcoming deadlines. However, once the deadlines have passed, previous awards will be listed beneath the current scholarships. That list can give younger students, and their caregivers, ideas about what scholarships may be available for them when they are preparing to attend college. There is no guarantee that these awards will be available in future years. These awards are all external to New Bedford Public Schools.

As well, current undergraduate students from around the country that are enrolled at a four-year accredited college, university, technical, or trade school during the 2025 calendar year, are eligible to apply for a Scholarship award to help with expenses that can be applied towards their Diabetes equipment and supplies needed for school.

The physical and emotional trials of being a student with T1D are well documented. Managing such a chronic disease has inherent challenges, but having to prioritize that within the context of a college experience can be very difficult.

Our Foundation looks forward to recognizing students that are demonstrating the ability to not only successfully manage their personal diabetes care but are achieving great results with their school studies and activities in pursuit of their career dreams.
