Each year the CRN provides scholarship opportunities for students currently enrolled in or preparing to begin an accredited collegiate or vocational program. Financial assistance of $2,000 USD will be awarded to one student diagnosed with cystinosis and $2,000 USD to a student with a sibling diagnosed with cystinosis. As a third option, we have The Deanna Lynn Potts Scholarship. It will also reward one student living with cystinosis $2,000 USD. For more information, click on the links below or contact Gail Potts at gpotts47@yahoo.com.
Congratulations to the 2025 awardees: Kylie Ellerbrock, Emmerson Rico, Henry Sturgis, and Abbi Monaghan. Hear more about their future endeavors on page 9 of our newsletter.
