We want to empower you become an agent of change for the epilepsy community by helping to fund your education! Applications are open for Education Enrichment Fund ([link removed]) (EEF) scholarships of up to $5,000.
EEF scholarships support coursework in scholars’ chosen career paths, so they can use their knowledge and skills to become agents of change in the epilepsy community. This one-time scholarship is awarded to those living with epilepsy or to family members and caregivers of those impacted by epilepsy.
EEF scholarships are made possible by the generous support of Greenwich Biosciences.
