Soozie Courter Scholarship
| Since 2000, Pfizer has been offering the Soozie Courter “Sharing a Brighter Tomorrow” Hemophilia Scholarship Program to recognize Soozie Courter, a valued and respected friend of the hemophilia community who passed away in 1999. In addition, since 2009, Pfizer has been one of the sponsors of the James Kreppner Memorial Scholarship and Bursary program offered by the Canadian Hemophilia Society (CHS). Pfizer has had a long-standing commitment with the hemophilia community, and thanks to the Soozie Courter program and their support of the CHS James Kreppner Memorial program, many Canadians with bleeding disorders have been able to further their education. In 2012, Pfizer and the Canadian Hemophilia Society are pleased to announce that the two programs have merged and that 5 scholarship/bursaries will be available through the CHS James Kreppner Memorial Scholarship and Bursary program. The award categories are as follows: • scholarship - based on academic merit • bursary - based on financial need • mature student bursary - for students 30 year of age or older The CHS James Kreppner Memorial Scholarship and Bursary program is open to Canadians with hemophilia (factor VIII or IX) or another inherited bleeding disorder (such as von Willebrand disease, a rare factor deficiency or platelet function disorder), carriers, and those who contracted HIV through a blood transfusion. Spouses and children of the above mentioned people may also apply. Those who have received a CHS Scholarship or Bursary are not eligible to reapply for continued support. Please visit the Canadian Hemophilia Society Web site and click on “Support and Education” (www.hemophilia.ca/en/support-and-education/scholarship-program/) to learn more about the CHS James Kreppner Memorial Scholarship and Bursary program and the application process for the 2012-2013 academic year. The deadline for applications is April 30, 2012. |
