A Message from Public Affairs –

Today, AbbVie has launched the AbbVie Immunology Scholarship, which is designed to provide financial support for exceptional students living with inflammatory diseases*, including Crohn’s disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC), as they pursue their higher education goals. You may recall that last year, we launched the inaugural AbbVie Crohn’s & Colitis Scholarship and we are proud to expand this year’s program to help empower more students living with inflammatory diseases to reach their educational goals. In an effort to make as many eligible students aware of the program as possible, would you consider sharing information about the scholarship with your constituents?

Below is a brief overview of the scholarship for your reference. Additional information and details regarding the AbbVie Immunology Scholarship are also attached.
