TEMECULA, Calif., Nov. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nufactor®, a specialty infusion company and subsidiary of FFF Enterprises, Inc., is now accepting applications for its 32nd-annual Eric Dostie Memorial College Scholarships for 2026. Ten awards of $1,000 each will be granted to qualifying students who can best demonstrate scholastic achievement, community service, and financial need.
Scholarship applicants must submit a 400-word essay describing their motivation for pursuing higher education, their area of study, obstacles they have overcome, and how they plan to use their education to enrich their communities.
Essays must be submitted online via Nufactor’s website. The deadline for submissions is Feb. 17, 2026. Winners will be announced in May 2026.
The scholarship was created to honor the memory of Eric Dostie, a 5-year-old boy with hemophilia who was tragically murdered on Aug. 27, 1994, due to the high cost of his healthcare. Awards will provide financial assistance to students who have hemophilia or von Willebrand disease themselves or a family member who manages the disease. Applicants must be United States citizens, live in the United States, and be enrolled full-time in an accredited two- or four-year U.S. college program.
"FFF understands the financial burden that comes with managing a chronic illness like hemophilia," said Patrick M. Schmidt, chief executive officer of FFF Enterprises. "We are honored to provide some relief and to be a reminder that health status does not hinder a beautiful future. We are humbled by the current and future achievements of these deserving and thoughtful young minds."
