🌟 Attention, Educators! 🌟 Help your students shine by sharing The Neurodiversity Scholarship opportunity! Our partners at The Neurodiversity Alliance believe students are more than just grades or resumes—they want to hear their stories, strengths, and dreams. That’s why they're offering scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $2,500, to neurodivergent individuals ready to share how they’re making a difference. If you have students aged 16-26 who identify as neurodivergent and meet specific educational criteria, encourage them to apply! Applications are open until January 15, 2025. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gDpTyTSy. For questions, reach out at scholarships@thendalliance.org 📖💪🏾🎓 #MoreThanAScore #ScholarshipOpportunity #Neurodiversity

Tag a co-worker or friend who might appreciate these tips!  #ADHD #ADHDatWork #burnout #neurodivergent
