Do you have student(s) looking to promote social change?
As one of the largest providers of biotherapies in the nation, Vitalant ensures a safe blood supply to the U.S. population, but summers are a little tough. With high schools and colleges being out for the summer, the number of blood donors drops drastically in our region.
That’s where you step in . . .
We are searching for community minded student leaders who are rising high school seniors planning to be dually enrolled or are entering college freshman or undergraduate students planning to enroll in a post-high school educational institution within the United States for fall 2024 or spring 2025. Help us engage students in the Vitalant Summer Student Leader Scholarship Program!
By volunteering to participate in Vitalant’s Student Leader Scholarship Program, students will play a significant role in building, diversifying, and growing our community’s blood supply while enhancing their skills in the areas of community engagement, program planning, and health education. For their service, students can earn a scholarship up to $1,000. Here is the basic criteria to participate:
