The Coalition is proud to support the STOP THE BLEED® Project, a public/private collaboration involving a wide range of non-profit organizations, government agencies, companies and individuals working to create more public awareness of the STOP THE BLEED® campaign and the importance of learning how to stop traumatic bleeding.
The Project’s new website at www.stopthebleedproject.org has launched in conjunction with the opening of the application period for STOP THE BLEED® scholarships and grants and the kickoff of several new programs, including the first ever STOP THE BLEED® trainathon.
STOP THE BLEED® Day activities will include training activities that members of the public can participate in, the Raise Your Hand social media campaign, scholarship and grant announcements and other forthcoming opportunities and events to be announced.
The STOP THE BLEED® Scholarship Program
This program consists of two types of scholarships. Now in its 4th year, National Scholarships offer high school students an opportunity to write an essay or make a video about the importance of STOP THE BLEED®. For the 2nd year in a row, Frontline Family Scholarships are open to any high school student whose parent or guardian has been working on the frontlines since the pandemic began, including supply chain and food service workers, EMS, nurse/healthcare personnel, teachers, police, firefighters and those serving in the military. Scholarship winners will receive a monetary award and the high school they attend will receive free Department of Defense approved STOP THE BLEED® kits.
