Cascade Regional Blood Services awards four $500 scholarships each year to local high school and college students to educate and increase awareness of the need to give back to one’s community.
We’ve been featured in South Sound Talk for our annual Give Back Scholarship. Every year, Cascade Regional Blood Services awards four $500 scholarships to local high school and college students to educate and increase awareness of the need to give back to one’s community.
To apply, students must have completed 20+ hours of community service and prepare an essay of 500 words describing their experience. Applicants’ schools or colleges are expected to host a blood drive that year, with the help of Cascade Regional Blood Services. Applicants themselves are not required to donate blood; many volunteer at blood drives or at area hospitals.
The scholarship not only supports scholastic achievement, but promotes community involvement, particularly through blood donation.
