Z-Medica Corporation, a medical device company developing innovative
hemostatic agents, today announced the launch of its QuikClot Grant for
U.S. military veterans attending Marietta College. The $25,000 grant
will support Marietta College’s Yellow Ribbon Program, which allows
qualified veterans to attend the college as undergraduate students and
receive full tuition scholarships.
“We are honored that Z-Medica has chosen Marietta College as a place to
provide support for veteran student aid,” said Dr. Jean Scott, President
at Marietta. “Gifts like this allow Marietta to keep with its tradition
of providing the necessary resources for our veteran students and help
ease their transition back into the classroom."
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 Marietta College.
“Since the company was founded back in January of 2002 its focus has
been, and always will be, to create products that make a difference and
help save lives,” said Bart Gullong, Z-Medica co-founder. “While our
QuikClot product has made a difference on the battlefield by helping to
save warriors’ lives, we recognize the importance of helping to make a
difference once they return home from service as well. Through
Marietta’s Yellow Ribbon initiative, we believe this grant is an
appropriate way to accomplish this.”
