ENL Announces the Scholarship Winners for 2006-2007

The Jim Hierlihy Memorial Scholarship, valued at $1000 was awarded this year to Zach Rowe of Carbonear. Shown with ENL President Ron Stone, Zach is a student at the College of the North Atlantic studying first year University courses and has a great love of athletics. He has had epilepsy since he was seven but works hard to succeed in spite of it.

"I have never let my disability stop me from having a normal life. I know I'll always be on medication, and I'll never get my licence. All of this make me more determined to get a good education and to have a good career"





This year the Mature Student Scholarship was awarded to Shaina Bennett of St. John's. Shaina is one busy lady. Between her full time nursing studies and her part time job, she still manages to volunteer where she can. Her goal is to work in oncology as a nurse pratitioner. Shaina was diagnosed two years ago and has had to battle lots of misconceptions in that time.

"I work as a lifeguard, coached, worked a daycare. In all of those roles I found myself educating people about epilepsy. There are lots of misconceptions even in my nursing class. I feel that by talking about epilepsy with my peers I am affecting an infinite number of people because they will all be health care providers."

Epilepsy Newfoundland and Labrador takes great pleasure in extending our sincerest congratulations to both Zach and Shaina. You offer great proof that epilepsy does not have to be a barrier to reaching your goals.
