Epilepsy Foundation Western/Central Pennsylvania congratulates the recipients of this year’s annual college scholarship program. Six outstanding individuals, all of whom are faced with a seizure disorder or epilepsy, will each receive a $1,000 scholarship from EFWCP. In past years the EFWCP has awarded only five scholarships, but with help from the Center for Inclusion in Health Care at UPMC, a sixth scholarship was added this year. Winners were selected based on several factors, including their ability to maintain a positive academic grade average and overcome adversity.
