We are pleased to announce the Hydrocephalus Association (HA) Award recipients. HA’s Scholarship Program<\/a> was established in 1994 to provide financial assistance to capable and promising teens, young adults, and adults who live with the ongoing challenges and complexities of hydrocephalus.<\/p>\n Our gratitude is extended to all the funders for their generosity and the Scholarship Committee for all their support and dedication.<\/p>\n Since the scholarship program was established in 1994, HA has awarded 253 scholarships to 253 deserving future leaders of our community. We are grateful to the following families for generously funding scholarship endowments:<\/p>\n This fund was established in 1994 by the Fudge family in honor of their son Gerard, who lived with hydrocephalus. In 1992, at age 22 and in the midst of his college experience, Gerard died. Two scholarships are awarded each year from this fund.<\/p>\n This fund was established in 2017 by Sally Baldus, the aunt of Gerard Swartz Fudge. Gerard lived with hydrocephalus and, in 1992, at age 22 and in the midst of his college experience, passed from complications of the condition.
