The Histiocytosis Association is celebrating its fifth year of supporting histiocytosis warriors and families through scholarships.
I thought, there's gotta be some way for this to benefit me in my life instead of just using it as a time that’s hard to look back on with trauma that impacts the rest of my life.”
PITMAN, NJ, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Histiocytosis Association is honored to provide an educational scholarship program for undergraduate students impacted by histiocytic disorders in the United States for the fifth straight year.

Since its beginning in 2019, the Histio Student Scholarship Program has grown both in the number of awarded scholarships as well as the dollar amount given.
Each scholarship will fund at least $1000 toward school tuition for those selected. There are four scholarships in total, three for those diagnosed with a histiocytic disorder, and one for family members of histiocytosis patients.
If you would like to help us reach our goals and expand this program into the future, we invite you to make a donation to our scholarship program here. If you prefer to mail a check, be sure to include "Histio Student Scholarship Program" on the memo line.
