Congratulations to the winners for the 2023 Lorna Myers Scholarship

Thanks to the continued generosity of Dr. Lorna Myers, Epilepsy Alliance America has a scholarship program for students with a diagnosis of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). In June 2023 Epilepsy Alliance America awarded NINE scholarships. These one-time awards were based on the quality of applications through a competitive scoring system that balanced need with achievement.

Thank you again to Dr. Lorna Myers who donates the royalties of her book, PSYCHOGENIC NON-EPILEPTIC SEIZURES: A GUIDE, to Epilepsy Alliance America, making these scholarships possible.
