IRVINE, Calif., June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 2026 Adam Ferrari Health Science Scholarship is accepting applications through June 30, 2026, offering a $20,000 award to students pursuing careers caring for individuals with physical disabilities.
Administered through The Ferrari Foundation, the scholarship was established by Adam Ferrari, CEO of Phoenix Energy, in honor of his father, Daniel Ferrari, who became quadriplegic after being diagnosed with transverse myelitis. It recognizes students entering the health sciences who demonstrate academic achievement, compassion, and a commitment to improving patient care.
"We believe exceptional healthcare requires both technical expertise and compassion," said Ferrari. "This scholarship is designed to support students who are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients."

Now in its fifth year, the Adam Ferrari Health Science Scholarship awards $20,000 to a student beginning their first year of full-time enrollment in a health science program at an accredited college or university in the fall of 2026.
Eligible applicants must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 and submit an original essay between 1,000 and 2,000 words describing their experience working with patients with physical disabilities or explaining their motivation for pursuing a healthcare career dedicated to supporting individuals living with physical challenges.
