The OI Foundation is excited to announce the first-year recipients of the Edward D. Cranston College Scholarship: Eden Nadler and Ethan Yamashita!
This scholarship, created in honor of Edward D. Cranston, is for students with OI who are applying to or have been admitted to a college or university. Edward, who was born in 1962 with severe OI, challenged himself by pursuing all educational opportunities available to him to achieve his goal of working as a health care professional. He dedicated his career to working with children with complex respiratory conditions and is held in high regard both by professionals in the field, as well as the families of the many children with whom he has worked.
Eden and Ethan were selected from nearly 20 applicants. Eden will be attending the University of Central Florida, and Ethan will be attending Brigham Young University. We are grateful to our review committee for taking the time to learn about each applicant, and we are proud to support this year’s recipients as they move forward in their education!
