Everyone give a shout out to Sandy who shared this information. I've been meaning to post it for some time. I know some of our HPS ladies would be great applicants for this scholarship. It will, however, require making some sort of contact with the local chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation. You'll have to get a recommendation from them. I know that HPS is so rare, and so often misdiagnosed, that we don't even typically show up on the Foundation's radar. But hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained. And in the meantime, you might make some valuable contacts, both for yourself and the HPS Network. Go for it ladies! (Yes, I know some of the dates say 2006 - just check with the foundation if you need any help.)
