Everyone needs extra help in one’s life. But when it comes to seniors, it is seen that they are more dependent on their family or others for support. Such seniors, who are in the need of extra help, find a caregiver who assists them in doing daily tasks and supports non-medical aspects of their lives. With the increasing population of aging adults, the responsibilities and role of a caregiver falls onto younger adults. Being a caregiver can be a challenging task if you are a student. You have to focus on your education along with take care of the person whom you have been caregiver of. It can be overwhelming for a student. To help such students, who have been playing the role of a caregiver, with their education, Nelson Elder Care Law has announced an amazing Student Caregiver Scholarship. For this program, undergraduate and graduate students will be recruited. High school seniors who have been enrolled at a college are also welcome to apply.
