IETF College Scholarships

Overview

Students of all ages who have been diagnosed with essential tremor (ET) are encouraged to apply for an IETF College Scholarship. Each semester the IETF provides four qualified students with a scholarship to help lessen the burden of attaining higher education, which can be used for supplies, books, student fees, or tuition at licensed, accredited educational institutions or trade schools. The IETF Scholarship Committee, consisting of members of the IETF Board of Directors, reviews each application based on academic achievement, leadership, community service, and a submitted essay. Award recipients have their essays and photographs published in Tremor Talk, the IETF’s lifestyle magazine, and a press release is submitted to the student’s local media to help raise awareness of essential tremor within their own hometown.
