Hemophilia Scholarships - Gateway Hemophilia

Purpose

GHA is proud to award $9,000 in educational scholarships each year. The volunteer scholarship committee selects the recipients ranging in value to encourage post high-school education for students with a bleeding disorder who reside within GHA’s service area of southern Illinois or eastern Missouri.

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of their potential to succeed, academic achievement, leadership, participation in school and community activities, honors, work experience, statement of educational and career goals, how having a bleeding disorder has affected personal and family circumstances, and references. Applicants must either be entering or attending a community college, junior college, four-year college, university, or vocational school. The deadline for application is March 31, 2024. Applicants are notified of the committee’s scholarship decisions by June 1, 2024.

GHA’s Scholarship Application is due March 31, 2024.

Scholarships may be renewed for an additional three years. GHA makes no guarantee that funding will be available in subsequent years. Please use the Reapplication Form to reapply. Application must be returned to GHA along with a current grade transcript for the term or semester just completed. Your application will then go through the same selection process as it did the previous year.

GHA’s Scholarship Reapplication Form is due March 31, 2024.
