The JHHS is an academic scholarship awarded annually to young people who have undergone a
hemispherectomy and who have been accepted into an institution of higher
learning.
This years recipients will receive $1,000 toward books, tuition, or other
needs as they see fit to make their college experience more rewarding. Each year, the amount and number of scholarships is determined based on the number of applicants and the availability of funds.

I have used the video of Jody as a part of my Introduction to Psychology class. She is an inspiration and I have often wondered what she was dong. I would love to hear from her. Give her my best.
