High School Hero Donor

• Scholarship Awards will be distributed one-time per year, at the end of each academic year.
• Representative(s) from each qualifying school will determine use of the funds based on MKBC-required criteria. Use of scholarship dollars must be a documented educational initiative, including
  • As a scholarship to a specific Senior student identified by the school, based on the student’s contributions to the success of the school’s blood drives. In this case, the scholarship check will be made to the student’s college of choice;
  • As a donation to the school’s general scholarship fund, with the dollars awarded at the school’s discretion; or
  • As a donation to the educational activities of the school’s HOSA / Health Club (or any other scholastic organization instrumental in coordinating your blood drives – National Honor Society, Key Club, etc.), with the dollars utilized for the group’s educational activities.
• Blood Donations do not have to come strictly from students — Blood Donations by teachers, administration, parents, community members, etc. at any of the school-sponsored drives all count towards the school’s totals.
• Donations made at an MKBC Fixed Site location as part of a school-sponsored “Adopt a Day” event also count towards the scholarship program (Group ID # must be given at the time of registration/appointment). These donations also count towards an individual’s graduation cord tracking (where applicable).

For schools who may need a little extra assistance, or smaller schools who are concerned about achieving the benchmarks, our experienced Account Managers are ready to help you reach your goal! It may be a simple as adding an additional Blood Drive during the school year, or adjusting the dates/times of your Blood Drives to accommodate donors from the community.
