ATTENTION FIRST-TIME ANNUAL MEETING ATTENDEES!

Educational Participant Grants Available for NHF’s 65 ^th Annual Meeting – “United in Progress”

The National Hemophilia Foundation is pleased to offer Educational Participant Grants for first-time attendees to its 65^th Annual Meeting, “United in Progress” in Anaheim, California, October 3-5, 2013. The Annual Meeting enables our community to come together and exchange information on a wide variety of topics, from the basics of diagnosis to the most recent and relevant developments in treatment and technology. It is the premier opportunity for networking and support for individuals and families affected by bleeding disorders. NHF currently provides $35,000 annually to families who wish to attend the meeting, and take advantage of the wealth of information and educational opportunities during the Annual Meeting.

Last year’s Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida, attracted more than 2,930 participants. We anticipate that this number will continue to grow and that our gathering will become even more diverse.

Eligibility

In our quest to foster a more inclusive Annual Meeting, NHF offers a limited number of Educational Participant Grants to individuals and/or families with bleeding disorders attending the Annual Meeting for the first time. We would especially like to provide assistance to those unable to attend due to personal obstacles or other barriers. Awards will be based on these factors, as well as on need.

Only applicants from the United States and its territories are eligible to apply for the grant. NHF staff and their relatives are not eligible to apply.

What the Educational Participant Grants Cover

Grants may be used to cover any of the following:

• Airfare

Applicants may apply for grants in one or more of these categories, for a maximum of three nights and four days.
