2024 Scholarship Recipients

The NF Midwest Scholarship Program is proud to add another year of empowering students with neurofibromatosis (NF) to achieve their educational dreams. We continue to honor the generous gift from Frances and Irma Napolilli, which allows us to award scholarships of up to $1,500 to deserving individuals.

These recipients are models of hard work and dedication, and we could not be more excited for their educational journey. Congratulations!
