This fall, 11 new and returning college students from Arkansas headed to campus equipped with a National MS Society scholarship. The National MS Society believes that MS shouldn't stand in the way of an education, so each year we offer scholarships to highly qualified students who have been diagnosed with MS or who have a parent with MS. Support offered is more than just financial; the Society facilitates connections between the scholars, offering peer support, volunteer and mentoring opportunities.
