Youth Cancer Survivor College Scholarship

The American Cancer Society's Youth Cancer Survivor College Scholarship Program is a scholarship opportunity exclusively for students with a history of cancer. Established in 2000, the program is designed to provide young cancer patients/survivors assistance in pursuing higher education from an accredited school.

 

As cancer survivors and role models, scholarship recipients may be invited to serve as American Cancer Society volunteers, to train as mentors for future scholarship recipients, and to represent the American Cancer Society on campus and in their communities.

An American Cancer Society Youth Cancer Survivor College Scholarship provides up to $1,000 to recipients for the upcoming academic year.
