The Mark Reames Memorial Scholarship offers two (2) $1,000 awards . Secondly, the Mike Conley Memorial Scholarship offers two (2) $1000 awards to any Colorado resident who has a bleeding disorder. Applicants can apply for both scholarships; likewise, previous recipients may reapply to be considered for selection.
