The $2,000 scholarship you are applying for is in memory of Bill McAdam. He lived with hemophilia for forty-four years and died of AIDS in October 1993. Bill had two graduate degrees, the first a Masters in Fine Arts and the second a Masters in Business Administration. He served on the board of the Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan, and was an activist even before the crisis of HIV. His hope was that the next generation of the community living with hemophilia, or von Willebrands, would continue its quest for knowledge. This scholarship is designed to help the recipient realize that hope. The scholarship is available for persons with hemophilia, von Willebrands, their partners, spouses, parents, children, siblings, or other significant family members. It is intended for post-secondary education, including college, trade or technical school, or other certification programs.
