United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Hi, my name is Lyn, I'm a 19 year old college student with Erb's Palsy. I actually came across this website while hunting for scholarships. I've been hunting on and off for a resource for people with brachial plexus injuries, as opposed to just the parents of kids with brachial plexus injuries. This was especially important to me considering I have met exactly one other person with BPI (guy I went to high school with, but we never really talked). Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.

Hi Lyn,
Welcome! If you go to the message board for BPI adults here you will find others like you.

Hi Lyn, & welcome! You may also wish to know to type "Scholarships" (without the quotes) or ANY word or phrase in the SEARCH FORUMS box/link at the to of any page and all of the posts on that subject will come up for you.

Also, Department/Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR/BVR) provides Tuition money to persons with disabilities,OBPI's[Erb's Palsy] and TBPI's qualify; however each State distributes the FEDERAL FUNDS differently. Each city has an office in your Regional State office Bldg.

Good Luck & let us know how $$ comes to you.
Keep coming here...we like questions!!
