The Brave-Like-a-Lion Scholarship is a financial endowment provided to families pursuing Intensive Therapy services. This scholarship was formed in honor of our friend, James Ryan Henson Jr, the original Brave-Like-a-Lion example. He and his family have advocated for intensive therapies for children with medical complexities and helped to educate clinicians and families on the value of this treatment approach. James passed away in December 2022 unexpectedly but the Light and Joy that he spread in his "Jamesyness" will remain with each of us forever. This scholarship is intended to sprinkle a little Jamesyness just as he always did

Each application is carefully evaluated by our board of directors. Scholarship fulfillment is voted and approved by majority vote of board members. Funds are distributed to families after intensive schedule is confirmed. Failure to use funds for intensive therapy costs is a violation of the scholarship and dishonors the intent of the donors that contributed.
