Collaborative Partnerships for the Tourette Syndrome Community
The New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome & Associated Disorders (NJCTS) is proud to announce Matthew Rosen of Little Silver as an honorable-mention recipient of the 2014 NJCTS Children’s Scholarship Award.
Taggart, who is graduating from Red Bank High School, was selected for his academic achievement, community service and accomplishments as an individual with Tourette Syndrome – an inherited, misunderstood, misdiagnosed neurological disorder that affects 1 in 100 children.
Rosen’s award essay was titled “Music and Me.” His list of extracurricular activities reflects significant talent in the clarinet and bass clarinet. Rosen is a member of many prominent bands and studied through the Manhattan School of Music (Pre-College).
NJCTS congratulates Rosen– who will attend the Eastman School of Music- on his achievements and wishes him continued success in his academic and career endeavors.
Since 2001, the NJCTS Children’s Scholarship Award has been awarded to more than 200 outstanding high school seniors in the state of New Jersey who have excelled in their schools, communities and lives – representing themselves as excellent advocates for Tourette.
