College Scholarships/Benefits
Tue, 11/07/2017 - 16:33Topic: Young Adults
Are there any scholarships or anything of that nature available to college students with epilepsy. My neurologist has always mentioned them in the past but I have never thought to look into until now and its a bit overwhelming. Thanks :)

There are specific epilepsy scholarships but, because those are national, I was not able to get any of them. There are usually LOCAL scholarships for STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES and as long as you have epilepsy, you qualify. Those were easier to get and there are more choices. I don't know where you live, but if you are in CA( like me), then the CA state Department of Rehabilitation is willing to give you some funds because its whole goal is to help disabled people get employment.
