Kevin Child Scholarship

Kevin Child was one month short of college graduation when he died of complications from AIDS in 1989. In his memory, and to acknowledge how living with hemophilia can pose challenges in seeking higher education, the Child family established the Kevin Child Scholarship. This scholarship awards $1,000 to a U.S. student with hemophilia A or B who aspires to attend college or vocational school, to a matriculating college/univ/vocational student, or to an eligible individual in pursuit of a post-secondary degree.

Kevin Child Scholarship applications are only being accepted by email. Please email your completed application to (jangarola@bleeding.org) by the deadline. If you have already mailed in your application, please contact Jonathan Angarola by email to confirm your materials have been received.

The Kevin Child Scholarship has been bestowing awards annually since 1990. It is only made possible through the generosity of individual donations.

Each year, the Kevin Child Scholarship is awarded to an exceptional student in memory of Kevin Child. As a child born with hemophilia in the late 1960s, Kevin had lived a life filled with challenges from the start. When he died of AIDS-related complications in 1989, he was just a few days short of his college graduation. In honor of Kevin's legacy, the Child family hopes this scholarship program will provide some assistance for students striving to acquire a higher education.
