The deadline for the 2016 Kevin Child Scholarship (KCS) is Thursday, June 30, 2016. Applications will be accepted from individuals diagnosed with either hemophilia A or B, and a high school senior with aspirations to attend an institute of higher education (college, university or vocational-technical school), or a college student already pursuing a post-secondary education. As part of the application, candidates will need to provide a personal essay, an official school transcript and a letter of recommendation. The recipient of the KCS will receive a grant award of $1,000 toward their tuition costs.
This scholarship was established in honor of Kevin Child, an exceptional young man with hemophilia who passed away just a few days short of his college graduation. In honor of Kevin’s legacy, the Child family has continued to provide this scholarship in the hopes that it will offer some assistance to other students striving to acquire a higher education.
