CBC Scholarship Program (The Community Blood Center)

Fact (page-stated): The Community Blood Center's scholarship program 'supports students pursuing post-secondary education by providing scholarship funding to partnering schools.' Applicants complete an application and create a creative project or presentation encouraging lifelong blood donation. Fact: the deadline chain is two-step — students submit to their high school by March 5, 2027, and the school forwards the winning applicant(s) to CBC by April 2, 2027. Inference: the award is administered through partner high schools in CBC's service area (Wisconsin, the Chicago area, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan), so eligibility is limited to students at partnering schools. Assumption: the page does not state a dollar amount or the number of awards. CBC separately runs the Gallon Grad recognition program for high school donors, which confers a graduation cord, certificate and recognition rather than money.
