Medical Assistance Program
The Medical Assistance Program aims to reduce the financial burden of medical care by covering common costs such as travel expenses to clinics, insurance co-pays, pharmaceutical costs, etc.
The Cody Dieruf Benefit Foundation prefers to cover expenses in advance, but will reimburse out-of-pocket costs if necessary.
At this time, our scholarships are not need based.
