Dr. William N. Drohan Scholarship Fund
Applications are open from March 1 - July 15
ABOUT THE WILLIAM N. DROHAN SCHOLARSHIP
The Coalition for Hemophilia B proudly offers the Dr. William N. Drohan Scholarship, celebrating the remarkable contributions of Dr. Drohan, a distinguished microbiologist and educator who passionately worked on enhancing blood safety.
His groundbreaking research in molecular biology and the development of innovative treatments have left an indelible mark on the field. His other important contributions included investigating prion diseases in the blood supply and developing treatments for traumatic injuries, including fibrin-sealant bandages to stem hemorrhage.
Dr. Drohan faithfully served as a member of the board of the Coalition for Hemophilia B and was instrumental in our Coalition’s creation. Each year we award four or more scholarships to students with hemophilia B or their siblings. Over the past 12 years, $285,000 has been given.
