Join Our Support Team
Ever heard the saying, “It takes a village to raise a child”? Well, the same goes for a thriving organization! We’re excited to offer administrative and marketing internships to driven college students (with priority given to our scholars, of course!). We also sometimes need extra help with outreach, coordination, and operations.
If you love working behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to our Program Director to share your interest and availability. Let’s make great things happen together!
Meet Richie Suarez, a resilient individual and inspiring figure in our Cancer for College family. The Leukemia Survivor received five scholarships from Cancer for College throughout his undergraduate and med-school years, and recently was accepted as a fellow at the #1 pediatric oncology program in the country— Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. In addition to that incredible feat, Richie volunteers on our Scholarship Selection Committee, scoring applications and ensuring we serve those who need it most. Thank you, Richie!
