Welcome to Cancer for College, a beacon of hope and support for cancer survivors pursuing their dreams of higher education since 1993. In a world where over 15,000 children face a cancer diagnosis each year, and where 1 in 5 of them are already grappling with the challenges of poverty, our mission becomes more critical than ever.
We understand the staggering financial burdens that accompany a cancer diagnosis – from the exorbitant medical costs to the indirect expenses for travel, meals, accommodation, and childcare during treatment.
We stand as a pillar of support for cancer survivors nationwide. To date, our organization has provided high achieving cancer survivors with:
- More than 1,700 scholarships totaling $7 million
- Medical debt relief
- Life-changing experiences
- Educational workshops
- Mentorship groups
- Networking opportunities
It is our mission to empower these cancer survivors on their journeys to recovery and success.
