2025 Humans of Dementia Scholarship

Storytelling is a powerful tool to help bring light to Alzheimer's disease and dementia. HFC's Humans of Dementia Storytelling Scholarship is open to high school and college students in the U.S. and Canada who have been impacted in some way by Alzheimer's disease.

This scholarship focuses on storytelling as a tool to drive awareness and inspire change about Alzheimer's disease. By focusing on the person and not the disease, Humans of Dementia aims to bring light to and elevate the conversation around Alzheimer's disease so we can reduce the stigma and shame often surrounding loved ones living with the disease.

HFC awards 12 scholarships: 6 for high school students and 6 for college students. Awards for the written profile and photo essay categories include three cash awards of $1500 each, along with a VIP Virtual Awards Reception.

You are encouraged to explore unique perspectives and be creative with the story you are telling using words and/or photo images (at this time we are not accepting video or other multimedia).
