Former UCB Family Epilepsy Scholarship Winners, Where Are They Now?

Navigating life with a chronic medical issue like epilepsy—whether you are the patient or caregiver—can be full of challenges, but achieving your dreams shouldn’t be among them. Since 2005, UCB has been sponsoring a scholarship designed to assist those living with epilepsy achieve their goals of attending higher education. The program is open to the epilepsy community including patients, their immediate family members, and caregivers.
