The North Carolina Association for the Education of Chronically Ill Children (NCAECIC) seeks to support not only its members, but also the students whom they serve.
Under past president Rob Gothson, who first envisioned the scholarship, NCAECIC created a scholarship fund for students who wish to teach chronically ill children and for students with chronic illnesses who wish to further their education through undergraduate studies at the college or university of their choosing. Understanding that students with chronic illnesses have to face amazing struggles simply to go to school, it is the goal of NCAECIC to help alleviate the financial burden of a college education as well its potential stress on the family.
The NCAECIC scholarship fund was renamed the Rob Gothson, Jr. Scholarship Fund in honor of Rob Gothson, Jr., and was awarded for the first time at our 2005 conference.
If you know of someone who is battling a chronic illness, you know how a little help can go a long way. Please consider a tax-deductible contribution to the NCAECIC Scholarship Fund and become a part of making dreams realities for students with chronic illnesses.
All contributions can presently be sent to:

Chapel Hill, NC 27514
