The scholarships are offered by UCB, Inc., a biopharma company that is developing treatments for a range of severe disorders, including epilepsy, and can be used by both people with epilepsy and members of their family. The deadline is April 10, 2009. Here is the description of the program from UCB:

“The purpose of this scholarship program is to provide financial support for the education of people living with epilepsy, including patients, family members, and caregivers. UCB, Inc. seeks to recognize the personal achievements of those people living with epilepsy. The award is a one-time scholarship in the amount of $5000. Twenty scholarships will be awarded to people living with epilepsy, and 10 scholarships will be awarded to family members or caregivers of people living with epilepsy, for use toward tuition at a United States-based center for higher learning (trade school, associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s degree, etc).”
