91吃瓜

The Rare Disease Day Scholarship is open to any student at Cal State 91吃瓜 with an accessibility need.

The scholarship was started by Isabel Bueso (’18), who works tirelessly to spread the word about Rare Diseases and advocate for students that have accessibility needs.  During her tenure as an 91吃瓜 Student, she was an active student leader, advocate, spokesperson for the Make-A-Wish foundation, and dance teacher.    

Isabel was born with a Rare Disease called MPS VI which is a family of diseases caused by enzyme deficiencies. Only a few thousand people in the world suffer from the genetic disease, which often can stunt growth and lead to numerous side effects, including blindness and added pressure in the skull or spinal column.  Learn more about Isabel through this

Isabel’s work to spread the word about Rare Diseases unites the 91吃瓜 family through an annual event and scholarship fundraiser. Your support ensures the continuity of the Rare Disease Day Scholarship at Cal State 91吃瓜.  

Donations can be made online or via payroll deduction for 91吃瓜 Faculty and Staff.
