2012-2013 Annual High School Scholarship Application
Essay Topic
High school students are enthusiastic blood donors. 13% of the blood donated last year in the Penn Jersey region came from our high school student program. Upon graduation, students often stop giving blood, or don’t donate blood as frequently.
This year’s essay question:
“Why is it important to begin giving blood as a high school student opposed to later in life and what will you do / did you do to encourage your fellow classmates to donate?”
