Who Can Apply:
- Epilepsy affects many people from a young age, bringing about seizures and resulting physical injuries in addition to stress and worry.
- Many people with epilepsy also face anxiety or depression and may have to undergo surgery, which can lead to effects on memory and speech. As a result, students with epilepsy have more to worry about than the average person, which can make it difficult to fully focus on academic or professional goals.
- This scholarship seeks to bring awareness to how epilepsy affects people’s lives in order to alleviate some of the difficulties those with epilepsy face.
- Any high school student who is a West Virginia resident with epilepsy may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
