But in 1988 Philip Morris acquired Kraft Inc. and merged it with General Foods.

The Epilepsy Foundation of America offers three-month fellowships for students in the behavioral sciences or medicine. The Mary Litty Memorial Fellowships, begun in 1975, sponsor projects in nursing, health education, psychological assessment, or basic psychological and behavioral research.
Students work with preceptors and have a chance to develop a better understanding of epilepsy.
About seven fellows are chosen each year from a pool of about 15 candidates. The deadline is March 1. Inc. All rights reserved. We welcome your opinion.
