Does anyone know of any scholarships for students who have epilepsy? I'm trying to find financial support for college and wonder if there are any opportunities for students with this condition.
Absolutely, there are several scholarship opportunities specifically for students with epilepsy to help cover the cost of higher education.
One example is the UCB Family Epilepsy Scholarship Program, which awards over twenty scholarships of up to $5,000 and up to two scholarships of up to $10,000 to students who are living with epilepsy or to family members and caregivers of those affected by epilepsy.
Another fund is the Will to Win Scholarship, administered by the "Epilepsy Services Foundation, Inc." It provides financial aid to high school seniors who have epilepsy and are looking to pursue a college education.
While these are a few specific opportunities, don't forget to explore other general scholarships or grants, too. Many universities and organizations offer scholarships based on academic merit, community service, and more, and being open about your experience with epilepsy could potentially make your application stand out. Good luck with your search!
