My career question is if there is an intermediate parent (My mother) that has been diagnosed with epilepsy, are there any scholarships that will help me get through my career of being a Marine Biologist?
Since 2012 my mother have been diagnosed with epilepsy. Its the worst feeling to see the most important person in your life in need of help and you cant help them. Every since then me and my mother grew close and I have been the mother of the house because I'm the oldest out of three children ( I have two younger brothers). I have balanced school, after school activities, being the head of the house and still manage to do what I need to do to get thus far. Now that I'm a junior in high school, with good grades, and a plan for my career, I'm starting to think about college. However, the only thing that's holding me back is the health of my mother. I don't want to leave my mother alone just to focus on myself when she can't help herself now. I really need some assistant on finding scholarships to help me through college. #college #scholarships #marine-biology #hbcu

Hi Tazmia!
Here are three sites which might help in your search. See if there is a local office of epilepsy foundation in you city. They might be able to provide more information.
