TOPP Foundation's 2025 Scholarship for High School Seniors with T1D

The TOPP Foundation is proud to honor local high school seniors living with Type 1 Diabetes through the TOPP Higher Education Scholarship. Established in 2022, this scholarship celebrates the strength, determination, and remarkable achievements of students who navigate the demands of managing Type 1 Diabetes while excelling academically and personally.

Since its creation, the foundation has awarded twelve scholarships—four in 2022, three in 2023, and five in 2024—recognizing the inspiring resilience and accomplishments of exceptional students. Building on this legacy, the 2025 scholarship continues to provide financial support and encouragement to select students pursuing higher education at a two- or four-year college, university, or trade school.

High school seniors from Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, are encouraged to apply. This scholarship aims to recognize and celebrate students who demonstrate perseverance and achievements while managing the unique challenges of living with Type 1 Diabetes. As part of the application process, applicants must submit an essay reflecting on their experiences with Type 1 Diabetes and how it has shaped their personal growth and educational goals. Selected recipients will receive a $500 award to support their higher education journey.

About Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease that requires individuals to rely on insulin to regulate blood sugar levels and manage an unpredictable condition. Living with Type 1 Diabetes is an unrelenting, full-time responsibility, demanding careful planning, constant vigilance, and remarkable resilience to avoid life-threatening complications and maintain health every single day.
