Diabetes Scholars Foundation Announces 2014 Scholarship Recipients (NYSE:LLY)

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill. and INDIANAPOLIS, June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Managing a chronic disease like type 1 diabetes can be difficult for a person of any age, but can be especially daunting while navigating the halls of high school. The Diabetes Scholars Foundation (Foundation) today announced its 2014 college scholarship recipients—a gifted group of young adults who, in addition to successfully managing their diabetes, have excelled in the classroom and in the community, demonstrating that diabetes truly does not have to stand in the way of pursuing one's goals.

For the third consecutive year, Lilly Diabetes has helped fund the Foundation's scholarship program through an annual donation. Established in 2012, the Lilly Diabetes Tomorrow's Leaders Scholarship program has funded more than 60 scholarships awarded through the Foundation. In 2013, the company renewed its commitment by making a $200,000 donation to support scholarships through 2015. This year, an additional 21 high school graduates will receive Lilly Diabetes Scholarships to help them attend universities throughout the United States.
