With the blood supply changing constantly, the need for blood is especially present during the
school year. To encourage high schools to host blood drives throughout the school year,
the American Red Cross promotes education by offering scholarships to students at participating high schools.

Your high school must hold at least two American Red Cross blood drives during the school year.

Scholarships will be awarded per blood drive.

A school representative must hold a planning and organizational meeting for the blood drives with a Red Cross representative who will be happy to help in any way to ensure that the blood drives are successful.

A minimum of 25 productive units must be collected to be awarded a scholarship.

The selection of individual scholarship candidates is the responsibility of the high schools.

The scholarships will be awarded on behalf of your school to the establishment of higher education that the scholarship recipients will be attending.

Scholarship Award (2 drives): $500.00 per drive
Scholarship Award (3 drives): $1,000.00 per drive
