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.

Some good news about Pirfenidone

Below is a press release from Intermune, the company that makes Pirfenidone. They have essentially reviewed the various clinical trials going on, and decided that Pirfenidone is safe and well tolerated. That would pretty much go along with what we've observed in the HPS community as well. We have a few folks that have been on the drug since the late 90s and continue to do well. Of course, as a journalist, I do have to say consider the source - but at the same time, as someone in a Pirfenidone trial, it's good to know.
