CRS - Scholarships



Partial scholarships are offered to legally blind young people striving to obtain a college education. Scholarships are given on a limited basis to those who qualify.






The amount Christian Record Services gives for scholarships varies from year to year. The actual amount given to each student is in proportion to the funds available.






An applicant must meet two requirements before the application will be considered:






•Applicant must be legally blind (20/200) with correction).


•Applicant must be planning to attend college as a full-time student on the undergraduate level to secure training that will enable independence and self-support.


If you or someone you know qualifies, please print, complete, and return the *application and *character reference forms. Applications for tuition scholarships are accepted between November 1 of the present year and April 1 of the following year for assistance the next fall term.






For example, if tuition assistance is desired for the school year 2012-2013, the application should be received in our office between November 1, 2011 and April 1, 2012.






The committee will meet soon after the application deadline of April 1 to determine which applicants qualify for a scholarship for the coming school year. You will receive a letter informing you of the committee's decision by June.


If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

The next generation with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome

I'm so behind on posting about the trip to Puerto Rico. Since the episode of Mystery Diagnosis on Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome ran right after we got home, it's been a little busy. These, however, are my favorite pictures from Puerto Rico. I know, not pretty senery etc - but these little guys and gals inspire me. They are the next generation of folks with HPS, and if we keep up the hard work, they will live better lives because of it. They motivate me.

Help for one of our newest HPS friends

As many of you know, I have a google alert set up for all sorts of key terms like albinism, pulmonary fibrosis etc. The following was posted on the blog of a friend of Melanie's. Melanie is one of our newest members of the Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome family. Unfortunately, like so many she didn't know she had HPS and the lung disease sort of snuck up on her. Melanie will be 26 years old next week. Perhaps some of us would like to contribute to the fund set up to help her and her family for her birthday.
