ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Local high school seniors with epilepsy have a chance to ease their college expenses through the Stephen A. Segar Epilepsy Scholarship. This scholarship is named after Stephen A. Segar, who co-leads the law firm Segar and Sciortino.
The scholarship is awarded annually to three high school seniors with epilepsy who plan to attend a four-year college. Stephen Segar, who has lived with epilepsy for over 30 years, said past recipients have expressed gratitude for the recognition of their challenges.
“Maybe not the money, per se, I think that’s way down the list, but just the recognition that, hey, look we’ve had quite a challenge here, quite a hurdle to get over and thank you for thinking about us, thank you for giving us support, maybe more emotionally and the recognition of all that we’ve had to go through,” Segar said.
Applications for the scholarship are due by April 30. Winners of the scholarship will each receive $3,500.
