Todd Platt BrainHealth Scholars

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.

Past Interns on Their Experience

I couldn’t have asked for a better or more inspiring, diverse team to work with this summer. I was exposed to projects in marketing, workplace engagement, brand management, community relations, event planning and much more. I truly valued being able to dip my feet into these specialties and feel that by learning programs, techniques and skills, I was able to become a well-rounded individual in the professional sphere. I can now confidently say that I am a better communicator and leader.

The people I worked with made the internship experience unlike any I have had before! They were always open, honest and willing to help me in any way if I didn’t know how to do something. After my summer internship, I was able to continue to intern for the Center for BrainHealth and grow with the organization.

I really can’t imagine spending my summer anywhere other than Center for BrainHealth. I learned so much and was constantly being given support by the people around me, especially my two supervisors. I made relationships and friendships I’ll always cherish, and I gained valuable experience that I’ll be able to use in the future. I can’t say enough good things about this place and these people – it was my favorite internship I’ve ever done!
