The year 2011 marked the first time Shire has offered scholarships to individuals with ADHD to go on to secondary education programs. Not only did each scholarship provide $2000 towards tuition funding, but also included a year's worth of free ADHD coaching to support each student. All ADHD coaches are trained and supplied by the Edge Foundation. In this episode host Jeff Copper interviews Michael Skoien, Vice President, Patient and Customer Excellence, for Shire Pharmaceuticals, and Robert Tudisco, Executive Director of the Edge Foundation, on the establishment of this unique program, as well as their plans to continue the program for the 2012-2013 academic year. In this show we’ll learn about how the scholarships came about, what the program will be about in 2012, and how to go about applying for an ADHD scholarship. If you’re an ADHD student, a parent of an ADHD student, or an educator this is a show you won’t want to miss.
