Scholarships

At Glanzmann's Research Foundation, we understand the importance of education for students with Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT).

That's why we've compiled a list of academic scholarships available for students with GT. If you discovered one that is not listed, reach out and let us know.

Please consider donating to the GRF to help us find a cure for Glanzmann Thrombasthenia. No matter how small, every little bit gets us closer to our goal.
