WASHINGTON - (Business Wire) Z-Medica Corporation, a medical device company developing innovative hemostatic agents which stop bleeding, today announced a new scholarship fund for U.S. military veterans attending George Washington University. The $100,000 QuikClot Scholarship Fund will support George Washington University’s (GW) Yellow Ribbon Program, which allows qualified veterans to attend GW as undergraduate students and receive full tuition scholarships. Qualified graduate students receive a significantly discounted rate of tuition. The QuikClot Scholarship Fund will support four undergraduate and seven graduate student veterans. “GW is honored to have Z-Medica’s support for the Yellow Ribbon Program,” said George Washington University senior vice president for student and academic support services Robert Chernak. “Without contributions such as Z-Medica’s the Yellow Ribbon program would not be able to support nearly the number of veterans that we do today.” The Yellow Ribbon Program is important because it is designed to cover any outstanding tuition and fees above those covered by the GI Bill benefit. The program will cover all qualified Iraq and Afghanistan War veterans who attend GW. “We are so pleased to be able to give back to the veterans that have selflessly served our country,” said Brian Herrman, CEO, Z-Medica. “Our QuikClot product helps soldiers when they are on the battlefield, but we also wanted to provide them with opportunities following their service. We believe the Yellow Ribbon program is the best way to do so.” Z-Medica and CEO Brian Herrman were honored for the QuikClot Scholarship Fund at GW’s recent Welcome Home to Washington symposium. About Z-Medica Z-Medica Corporation is a medical device company developing innovative hemostatic agents. The company manufactures and markets its QuikClot® family of products for hemostasis for use by health care professionals, first responders, law enforcement officers and the military. QuikClot® products rapidly enhance the body’s natural coagulation process, helping to achieve hemostasis faster. Z-Medica’s QuikClot® Combat Gauze™ product was chosen by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) as the sole source supplier to all branches of United States Military, based on tests conducted by the Naval Medical Research Center and the U.S. Army Institute for Surgical Research. In addition to currently being carried by every soldier in the U.S. Military, QuikClot® products are also widely used by first responders, in hospital emergency rooms, interventional cardiology and radiology laboratories and other healthcare environments where bleeding requires fast and effective control. Z-Medica is a privately-held company based in Wallingford, CT.
