Donate to the Lorna Myers Scholarship Fund
Each year, Epilepsy Alliance America receives more scholarship applications from qualified applicants than we can fund. Consider making a restricted gift to the Lorna Myers PNES Scholarship Fund so that we can provide more scholarships this year.
About the Fund
Dr. Lorna Myers donates the royalties of her book, PSYCHOGENIC NON-EPILEPTIC SEIZURES: A GUIDE to Epilepsy Alliance America each year.
Epilepsy Alliance America manages a scholarship program for students with a diagnosis of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) who are pursuing higher level education at a university or college or a trade, technical or professional school, using the funds from Dr. Myers.
Awards are based on the quality of applications through a competitive scoring system that balances need with achievement. Epilepsy Alliance America reserves the right to determine the amount of and number of scholarships given annually. At this time this is a one-time award. Awards are restricted to residents of the United States.
