Who is eligible for the WPCNHF Scholarship?

 Any person or immediate family member of a person with hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease, or other inherited bleeding disorder is eligible to apply for this scholarship. The person with the bleeding disorder must either be a member of the Chapter, living in one of the 26 counties served by the Chapter, or be a patient of The Hemophilia Center of Western PA. The candidate must provide proof of enrollment in an accredited school or vocational/technical center and must submit a completed application within the established deadline. Only one full award per degree program or course of study will be granted to any individual. Individuals who have received a partial award (less than $2,500) from WPCNHF in the past are welcome to reapply.

 The 2020-2021 process will be as follows:

  • Applications are being distributed by the Western Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation.
  • Applications must be received or postmarked by June 26, 2020.
