Shining A Spotlight on our Scholarship Winners!

We are delighted to celebrate our “Bridge Scholarships” for CDCES Prep Boot Camp and the Live Seminar Scholarships!

Celebrating Our Diabetes Education Scholarship Recipients

We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming response to our Bridge Scholarships for both the CDCES Prep Boot Camp and Live Seminar Scholarships. Your passion, dedication, and commitment to advancing in diabetes care truly inspired us.

Each application we received was a powerful reminder of the incredible work being done across our healthcare community. Our panel of judges faced the challenging task of selecting recipients, carefully evaluating each application based on several important criteria: financial need, person-centered language, inclusivity, impact, volunteerism, and readiness to sit for the CDCES exam.

After thoughtful consideration, we are thrilled to announce the recipients of this round of scholarships! 🎉

These individuals represent the very best of what our community stands for—dedication, empathy, service, and the drive to grow professionally and personally. The scholarships they’ve received will not only recognize their hard work and achievements but also provide the support they need as they take the next step in their journey toward becoming Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists.

Please join us in congratulating our scholars! Their commitment to improving diabetes care and education will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the communities they serve.

To our scholarship recipients: Congratulations! And to our entire community of healthcare professionals: Thank you for your continued passion, perseverance, and support. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive future in diabetes care.
