The Blood Alliance is awarding a single $750 scholarship to a total of 20 students - one student from each school that meets the eligibility requirements - good toward their first year of higher education!
How does it work? Each student who qualifies for this scholarship (see eligibility requirements below) will be awarded a Blood Alliance certificate, which the awarded student must submit to The Blood Alliance for tuition assistance once registered in a post-high school education program. Vocational schools and traditional colleges/universities are all eligible under this scholarship.
