HIE Help Center Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by HIE Help Center
The HIE Help Center is pleased to offer an annual scholarship for a student (or a small team of students) who is committed to helping people with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), cerebral palsy (CP), or another neonatal injury. Being personally impacted by HIE or another disability is not a requirement, as the scholarship focuses on the applicant's goals to support those who are affected. However, students with disabilities are certainly welcome and encouraged to apply.
