Description

Each year, the Kevin Child Scholarship is awarded to an exceptional student in memory of Kevin Child. As a child born with hemophilia in the late 1960s, Kevin lived a life filled with challenges from the start. When he died of AIDS-related complications in 1989, he was just a few days short of his college graduation. In honor of Kevin's legacy, the Child family hopes this scholarship program will provide some assistance for students striving to acquire a higher education. Scholarship applicants must be individuals diagnosed with either hemophilia A or B, and a high school senior with aspirations of attending an institute of higher education, or a college student already pursuing a post-secondary education. Applicants must submit one letter of recommendation from a person familiar with their personal and academic achievements. The Kevin Child Scholarship recipient is selected based upon the applicant's academic performance, participation in school or community activities and a personal essay detailing their educational and future career goals. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation for more information.
