Consumer Development Scholarships
Each year, through the Consumer Development Scholarship Program, the Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation awards patients and their families funding to offset the cost of hotel accommodations and travel expenses while attending the NHF Annual Meeting.
The program is designed to provide new and exciting opportunities for members of the Wisconsin bleeding disorders community. The recipients of a Consumer Development Scholarship Program award attend the NHF Annual Meeting as representatives of GLHF and Wisconsin. Their role as a representative gives them a unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those affected by bleeding disorders, and become leaders in their community. While they participate in the many exciting workshops and activities at the Meeting, they are encouraged to take note of programs and services that would strengthen GLHF’s ability to serve the Wisconsin bleeding disorders community.
Attending the NHF Annual Meeting is an extremely positive experience for anyone affected by a bleeding disorder. GLHF understands the importance of supporting consumers’ interest in attending this meeting. Programs like the Consumer Development Program are made possible because of a commitment from our donors and corporate friends. If you’d like to support this most worthwhile program, please contact the Foundation.
Individual Class Scholarship
This new scholarship (#2 above) is being offered to continue the Foundation’s goal to improve the quality of life for individuals affected by bleeding disorders through career advancement and improved vocational opportunities.
Applicants can receive up to $500.00 per class per scholarship period. All awards will be presented on behalf of the recipient directly to the institution where the class will take place.

-
Improved patient and family access to insurance,
