BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Victoria Ordonez, a young cancer survivor, was left speechless Wednesday morning when she was surprised with a $10,000 scholarship to help her attend medical school.

Ordonez thought she was coming to Jersey Mike’s for an interview with Cancer for College, not realizing she had already been awarded the scholarship.

The scholarship was made possible through a partnership between Jersey Mike’s and Cancer for College, which targets college students who have survived cancer and plan to use their remission to help others. Watch the segment here.
