About Scholarship
Because siblings are survivors of childhood cancer, too, they can apply to receive one of the scholarships toward their college education. The applicant must be the sibling of a childhood cancer survivor (does not have to be receiving treatment to qualify), or of a patient that is currently diagnosed with a childhood cancer and is in treatment. Siblings must live in the same household as childhood cancer patient, and specifically during their treatment. Siblings of childhood cancer patients that have not survived the diagnosis or their treatment are also eligible. The applicant must be enrolled in or accepted for enrollment to an accredited undergraduate or graduate program in the U.S. Applicants must submit at least one letter of recommendation from an academic teacher addressing why they should receive the scholarship. Applicants can submit a maximum of three letters of recommendation. A letter from the survivor or patient's attending physician verifying medical history and current medical situation must also be submitted. Awardees will be eligible to apply for funding every year, so long as they provide a testimonial and photo or video. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
