High School Scholarship Program

High Schools that host blood drives in CBC’s service area are eligible for the Community Blood Center High School Scholarship Program.

Administrators may award a scholarship per school year to a student who demonstrates leadership and volunteerism in the organization of the high school blood drive school year. Scholarships in the amount of $500 – $1,250 are available, depending on the total number of units collected per academic year at their high school blood drives.

*Blood drives must be held in CBC’s service area (NE Kansas & NW Missouri) to qualify. Contact Adriana Zaragoza with questions and to submit an application.


Gallon Grad Program

In recognition of the valuable life-saving contribution students make to our community’s blood supply, the Community Blood Center (CBC) is pleased to offer a Gallon Grad Award Program for high school students. If you donate at least eight (8) times with the Community Blood Center before your high school graduation, you will be eligible to receive the Gallon Grad award. This program is designed to encourage high school students to become lifelong blood donors. 

How it works

It’s easy! Sign up with the form below and just donate at least eight times with Community Blood Center prior to your high school graduation! Eight donations are the equivalent of one gallon. We will count all of your donations with CBC both before and after you enroll. You can achieve this goal by donating at your local high school blood drives, as well as donating at a local CBC Neighborhood Donation Center or other community blood drives sponsored by the Community Blood Center.
