At Nelson Elder Care Law we have a great appreciation for those who put others first and care for those who are unable to functionally care for themselves, and as the population of elderly adults continues to rise, the responsibility and role of a caregiver falls onto younger adults. As elder care law attorneys, we understand the demanding lifestyle a student caregiver faces trying to balance caring for others while maintaining their studies. That is why we are proud to sponsor our Student Caregiver Scholarship for the 2022 school year!
The purpose of the $1,000 Student Caregiver Scholarship is to award one compassionate student who spends their time helping elderly adults. This scholarship is open to those who volunteer with seniors either at a long-term care facility or nursing home, those who take care of an elderly family member, or those who help the elderly in another way. We want to hear why you chose to help and care for the elderly, and how volunteering has shaped you.
