Indiana Donor Network staff members have contributed monies to help fund educational scholarships for the family members of Indiana organ/tissue donors, as well as living-related transplant donors, transplant recipients and candidates.  It is our hope that scholarship winners will help share information about organ, tissue and eye donation in their community.

We welcome applications from non-traditional students. This includes students who postponed college, moved directly into the workforce after high school, or had college careers interrupted by growing families, medical issues, or financial difficulties. In these instances, work experience and community involvement will be taken into consideration instead of current school extracurricular activities.

Scholarship opens January 2021 until March 2021.

Realizing that transplantation poses financial hardships on the entire family, the Georgia Transplant Foundation annually awards academic scholarships to selected students who are transplant recipients, dependents of a transplant recipient, living donors, parents or the sibling of a transplant recipient under the age of 22. The scholarships are awarded to students who are presently enrolled in an accredited institution or beginning such a program.

The Peter and Bruce Bidstrup Memorial Scholarship was established in 1984 by Carol G. Bombeck (Bidstrup), who served as Executive Director of the Arizona Kidney Foundation (now National Kidney Foundation of Arizona) and was the creative force and organizer of the original AKF Women’s Board. The fund was established in honor of Carol’s two sons who did not survive kidney disease.
