ABOUT THE NAT LATHROP MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP

We are honored to present the Nat Lathrop Music Scholarship, a heartfelt tribute to Nat Lathrop, launched on his birthday, May 5th, in 2021.

This scholarship aims to support young members of the hemophilia B community, aged 8-18, who have a passion for music. Inspired by Nat's family and their belief in the healing power of music and its importance for mental health, we offer this scholarship to encourage young individuals to find solace and connection through musical exploration.

It's our hope that this scholarship will not only honor Nat's memory but also inspire the next generation of musicians within our community.
