High School Scholarship Program

The American Red Cross Western Lake Erie Region Blood Services invites your school to participate in the ‘Got it? GIVE IT!’ High School Scholarship Program.

Through the program, the students not only have the opportunity to help others in their community and around the region, but also to raise money to be used for educational scholarships at establishments of higher education.

Summer Program
June 1, 2006 through August 31, 2006  

High school students have the opportunity to help save lives in the summertime. Any high school that holds at least two blood drives during the school year is invited to participate in the ‘Got it? GIVE IT!’ Summer Scholarship Program.

• Your high school must hold at least one Red Cross blood drive during the summer months. Since the waiting period between each blood donation is 56 days, it is possible to sponsor a second summer drive.

• A minimum of 20 units must be collected to be awarded a scholarship.
