Yes, I know, you hate Eli Lilly. In fact, you hate all “big pharma;” I know. But right now you have a chance to get your hands on a scholarship that pays for tuition, books and lab fees and I really think you should consider it. The Eli Lilly Reintegration Scholarship is available to those living with bipolar disorder or a schizophrenia-spectrum disorder.

It’s Tough Going to School with Bipolar Disorder or Schizophrenia

Look, I got a degree while experiencing the symptoms of bipolar disorder and, let I me tell you, it was no picnic. Other people have gotten degrees too, so, of course, it’s possible, but it’s not easy going to school with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

And I believe that people with a mental illness could use a hand in making their education goals come true. I believe people with a mental illness often lack education because of how tough it is to go to school. But I also believe that we can do it and extra money helps.

The Eli Lilly Reintegration Scholarship can be used for:

  • High school equivalency programs
  • Trade or vocational school programs
  • Associate degrees
  • Bachelor degrees
  • Graduate degrees

So basically, whatever your educational heart desires.

Yes, I Think the Eli Lilly Reintegration Scholarship is a Good Thing

Tuition Paid for By Eli LillyAnd look, even if you hate “big pharma” I think you still have to admit that this is a good thing. Eli Lilly could have put this money into anything, but instead they’re choosing to use it to fund schooling for people with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Last year about 70 students got Eli Lilly Reintegration Scholarships. And the good news is, you can continue to get the scholarship for your continuing schooling as people who currently receive the scholarship are given preference to get it again (as long as you meet certain requirements).

Of course Eli Lilly gets good PR out of their Reintegration Scholarships, but look, this is PR that can help you too, which is a good thing.
