UCB, a global leader in the biopharmaceutical industry, has launched its second annual UCBeyond scholarship program.

The company will award seven one-time scholarships of up to $5,000 Cdn to people diagnosed with Crohn’s disease for the 2008/2009 school year.

They will also award seven one-time scholarships for people diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

“UCB is dedicated to creating unique programs and tools to aid patients in reaching above and beyond the boundaries of their disease and fulfilling their educational ambitions,” said Rob Hamilton, president of UCB Pharma Canada in a press release.

The winners will be chosen based on two personal letters of recommendation and a one-page essay describing how they have overcome living with their disease.

The judging panel is made up of leading physicians and patient representatives.

The application deadline is June 30 and winners will be announced in September.

Students who wish to apply for the scholarship can download an application form from www.ccfc.ca, www.arthritis.ca or www.cromecommunications.ca.
