ATTN: Students with diabetes! The MannKind/Al Mann Centennial Scholarship is NOW OPEN!

If you qualify for this scholarship, we encourage you to apply here: https://hubs.li/Q03ZRwh90

This program will support young adults living with diabetes with a $10,000 scholarship distributed to 10 students ages 18-22, studying life sciences at a community college or university.

Wondering who Al Mann is? Wonder no more! He was an American physicist, inventor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist known for founding 17 companies and developing numerous groundbreaking medical and aerospace technologies, including the first rechargeable pacemaker and the insulin pump. Mann founded the company MannKind Corporation, which developed Afrezza, a rapid‑acting inhaled insulin for adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Mann’s vision was to offer an alternative to multiple daily insulin injections, making life easier for people with diabetes by using a non‑injection option. To honor his legacy, this scholarship seeks to empower young adults with diabetes to pursue their dreams in the life sciences.

Thank you to MannKind Corporation for their continued support of the young adult diabetes community.
