Z-Medica announces the launch of QuikClot Grant for U.S. military veterans attending Marietta College

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”

“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.”
