Welcome
College degrees are often more difficult for individuals with Lupus to attain; many individuals
with organ-threatening disease must delay school or drop out altogether. Those who are able to
attend may need to reduce their course load. This part-time status places a substantial financial
burden on any student, since most financial aid or scholarships are given only to full-time students.
The Lupus Inspiration Foundation for Excellence (L.I.F.E) realizes the obstacles a student with
Lupus faces, and was created to help these students achieve their academic goals by providing financial
and educational assistance. Our organization further seeks to promote awareness of Systemic
Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
Each year the L.I.F.E. Scholarship Foundation will select students to receive The L.I.F.E.
Scholarship who have demonstrated courage and perseverance in their struggle to overcome the
limitations of Lupus.
