Maddison Frye Scholarship
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.
To apply, tell us how having epilepsy has empowered you, made you stronger, and positively changed your perspective on life. Additionally, tell us about yourself and how you hope to use this scholarship to help you pursue your education.
