Students with hemophilia or von Willebrand disease are encouraged to apply for the 2010 MedPro Rx scholarship. Applications are available on our Web site or by clicking this link. The deadline for completed applications is May 1.
At least 20 scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,500 will be awarded. In 2009, 79 scholarships totaling $79,000 were given to students in 31 states. Since the program’s inception in 2006, $207,000 in scholarships have been awarded to students nationwide.
Here is what our scholarship coordinator has to say about the program: “With the proper education, a student will have plentiful job opportunities,” said Kathy Robinette-Stoneberg. “Normally a person with a good job will have health insurance options that will allow them the freedom of access to health care and prescription benefits, which are much needed by persons with bleeding disorders. I encourage all interested students to listen to the testimonials on our Web site and apply for the program.”
