AbbVie IBD Scholarship

Crohn's and Colitis Canada awards the AbbVie IBD Scholarship to students living with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are enrolled in a Canadian post-secondary educational institute. Past scholarship recipients represent students who are living well with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis who not only strive to sustain an optimal level of wellness, but also seek to inspire others to do the same. The AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program is a competitive bursary with 15 awards of $5,000 each available annually. This program is made possible by an educational grant provided by AbbVie Canada. Recipients are selected by an independent selection committee of leading gastroenterologists, community partners and patient representatives from across Canada based on letters of recommendation and an essay outlining how students strive to sustain wellness and inspire others.
