We know how devastating a chronic illness can have on a family emotionally, physically, socially, and financially. Children with Cystinosis are living longer, thanks to medical science and therefore, embarking on careers.
These careers require education. Education is expensive, yet something we do not want to deprive our children of in our world today. Due to the financially draining medical costs, it might prove difficult to send a child to college.
Through this fund, we hope to help some of those students.

SCHOLARSHIP AWARD: A $1000 scholarship awarded annually. The award is contingent upon the winners acceptance to an accredited college, university, or vocational program and will be payable to the education institution to be applied to tuition, room and board.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
Documentation/verification of Cystinosis (e.g. letter from physician.)
An official copy of high school transcript.
Two letters of recommendation from current teachers/faculty members and/or counselors regarding applicant's scholastic aptitude and personal qualifications.
An essay of 500 words. We want to know a person who has played a vital role in student's life. How? Why? The essay should be typewritten and double spaced
A copy of the previous year's income tax return.
JUDGING CRITERIA: The essay will earn a possible 40 points and will be judged on the basis of rationale, grammar and comprehension. Transcripts and letters of recommendation will carry a possible additional 20 points. The Cystinosis Foundation Board will establish an independent judging panel to evaluate and rate the applicants. The decision of the judges is final. Finalists may be interviewed before selection is made.

The program will cover the topics of:
• Basic science
• Preclinical science
• Clinical science and trial design
• Regulatory pathways (FDA) for IND (investigational new drug application) and IDE (investigational new device exemption)

• Gain substantial knowledge about the steps in cardiovascular translational research
• Understand product development related to devices or biologics
• Learn about toxicology studies required on small and large animal models that serve for IND or IDE application
• Understand the statistical design and analysis required for toxicology studies, and phase I, II, and III clinical trials
