It is MontCoLyme's pleasure to announce a new scholarship fund for Lyme kids in PA, the
"Alan B. Miller Lyme Scholarships"

  • The "Alan B. Miller Lyme Scholarships" will provide tutoring through Green Valley Academy located in Paoli, PA, for children and youth suffering from Lyme and/or related tick-borne diseases.
  • The purpose of these scholarships is to help kids with Lyme, often affected with neuro-cognitive and psychiatric symptoms, meet the challenges of school and learning in light of their health challenges.
  • It doesn't not matter whether your child is being home-schooled or currently enrolled in school.
  • The scholarships are awarded initially as either 1 hour/week for 20 weeks, or 2 hours/week for 40 weeks. 
  • Green Valley Academy specializes in serving the needs of children with learning issues, and their faculty is skilled in learning dysfunctions and health impacts on learning.
  • The tutoring sessions can help children keep up, catch up, and/or develop learning strategies to serve them well given their current challenges.

These scholarships have been funded through generous donations to the Green Valley Academy by Dr. Alan B. Miller initially funding 5 scholarships.  3 of these have already been allocated to children with Lyme, and 2 remain.  But don't despair, the fund will be renewed if there is a demonstrated need.  So get your applications in, and pass on this email.

 

CLICK HERE for the application.  It is short and simple - there are no financial need requirements.  The goal is to help kids with Lyme, period.  Green Valley Academy (http://www.greenvalleyacademy.org/) is located in Paoli and has a Day Program as well as tutoring services for children with health or other special learning needs. 

 

Please let me know ASAP if you are interested in a scholarship for your child and get your application in.  The application is attached, along with an information sheet.

 

We thank the Founder and Director of the school, Mimi Green, who has had Lyme disease, and Dr. Alan B. Miller for their generous contribution and commitment to help kids with Lyme Disease. 

 

I look forward to hearing back from you as soon as possible,

 

Thank you,
