Each year, Hemophilia of Georgia awards scholarships to Georgians in the bleeding disorder community. We are happy to announce that this year, we have awarded John W. Youtsey Memorial Scholarships to 25 people totaling $100,000 to be used for the 2024 academic year.

John W. Youtsey, was a former professor and Associate Dean of the College of Health Sciences at Georgia State University.

Over the years, the John W. Youtsey Memorial Scholarship Program has awarded more than $1,000,000 to deserving students to help them achieve their dreams. Below are comments made by previous scholarship recipients:
