Congratulations to our 2021 Scholarship Recipients!

Adalie Harrison
Lenoir Rhyne University
Meet 2021 Epilepsy Reach Education Scholarship recipient Adalie Harrison!
“My first ever seizure [was] at age 17… While the diagnosis has been both emotionally and physically tough, I continue to live my dreams of being a college student and athlete. I do not want my diagnosis to stop me from doing all the things that I love to do and want to do. I continue to pray that my team of physicians will be able to get to the root cause and the possibility of complete healing. In the meantime, I continue to share my story and live life!”
Adalie is pursuing a degree in exercise science and nursing at Lenoir Rhyne University and is a three-sport college athlete. She is using her scholarship to follow her dream of becoming a Certified Register Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).
