Pictured is our 2024 class of Todd Platt BrainHealth Scholars. The program is named for Todd Platt, recipient of BrainHealth’s 2023 Legacy Award.
The BrainHealth Scholars Program is an in-person educational internship in Dallas, Texas. Undergraduate and graduate students from all colleges, universities and any field of study are eligible to apply.
Over four weeks, scholars explore the importance of brain health and learn underlying science and everyday brain-healthy practices. They also have the opportunity to work collaboratively on a team project. The summer program culminates in a team presentation, after which scholars who attended all sessions are awarded a $1,000 stipend.
The 2025 Todd Platt BrainHealth Scholar program will once again be made possible thanks to a generous gift from Candy and Ike Brown.
