I'm looking into scholarships as a high school junior and wondering if there are any specific ones available for students who have seizure disorders. I've been dealing with this for a while, and financial aid would be a big help.
Yes, there are several scholarships specifically designed for students with seizure disorders or epilepsy. Below are a few examples:
1. Various scholarship programs are offered by The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago. Scholarships are given each year to students who have epilepsy or seizure disorders.
2. The Pfizer Epilepsy Scholarship — This scholarship provides financial support for students with epilepsy who demonstrate academic and personal achievement.
3. The UCB Family Epilepsy Scholarship Program — The program offers educational scholarships to people living with epilepsy, family members, and caregivers to help them fulfill their dreams.
Remember, when applying for scholarships, everything doesn't always have to be focused on your disorder. Look for scholarships centered around your interests, academics, or community involvement as well. Scholarships may also be available directly from the universities you're interested in, so be sure to check with their financial aid offices.
