NE Chapter Washington Days Scholarship

Washington Days 2027 Scholarship Application
We are pleased that you are interested in joining us for NBDF’s Washington Days taking place at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill from Wednesday, March 3 – Friday, March 5, 2027.

NBDF’s Washington Days is an opportunity for people affected by inherited blood disorders to advocate for issues that are important to them. We are looking forward to gather together in person with hundreds of volunteer advocates from across the United States to meet with legislators and staff to discuss issues important to our community such as federal funding for bleeding disorder programs and supporting policies that increase affordability of coverage, and access to care.

For more information about Washington Days, visit the Washington Days website.
