RPF Scholarship Program

Rheumatoid Patient Foundation (RPF)

The Rheumatoid Patient Foundation (RPF) is a 501c(3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with rheumatoid diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile arthritis. Beyond the physical, mental and emotional hardship of rheumatoid disease (RD), there is also often a financial toll placed on people with RD due to the expenses of continuous care and treatment, as well as potential disability and loss of income. One of RPF’s primary goals is offering support to rheumatoid patients. One way in which we seek to do this is to offer support to students who have RD or whose parents have RD, as they pursue higher education. RPF’s scholarship program helps to support and meet the needs of these students.

This scholarship is for students who have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and for students who have a parent with such a diagnosis. To qualify, applicants must be applying to or enrolled in a post-secondary/vocational institution.
