Susan Skinner Memorial Fund Scholarship
The Susan Skinner Memorial Fund endowment supports the training and education of young women with bleeding disorders. Scholarship recipients demonstrate outstanding leadership potential to improve the care of women with bleeding disorders in their country, and become future leaders of their national organization.

The fund commemorates the late Susan Skinner, an American woman determined to ensure the availability of safe and effective treatment for her two sons. The WFH USA is deeply grateful to Mr. Thomas Skinner who created the fund, family members and friends as well as organizations in the bleeding disorder community who continue to support the fund.
Call for applications is expected to open in April 2021.
