Scholars For A Cure - Educate Our Future
We are committed to raising $12,000 to award our (5) new scholarship recipients this year.
Cancer Federation is an IRS Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization that believes that cancer knows no geographical boundaries. Thus, a cure, treatment and cancer research is not limited to any one area. Cancer Federation provides funding for scholarships and research grants to universities.
According to Cancer.gov, "Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2018, there were 18.1 million new cases and 9.5 million cancer-related deaths worldwide."
Medical advancements are being made daily. Cancer Federation provides scholarships to students pursuing a career in cancer prevention, cancer care and cancer research to continually increase survival rates. Through our scholarships we are effectively grooming the next generation of hope for a cure.
Your generous donation directly provide for 5 new scholarships that will be used for tuition assistance for students who dream of finding a cure for cancer.
Prevention! Most of our scholarship recipients are also studying ways in which to prevent cancer. Our students and Universities are active in providing Cancer Awareness, screenings, and instill healthy life choices that may prevent cancer so that the communities they serve can take charge of their health.
Meet Kristin. Kristin's daughter's cancer diagnosis inspired her to pursue her degree as a Nurse Practitioner. ~ "Once I pass my Pediatric Nurse Practitioner-Acute Care Certification Exam, I will start working in the Oncology Center at Lucile Packard. ~ This is where my daughter was treated and it gives me comfort knowing that I can help other children experiencing what my family has experienced. ~ I am also so thankful that Cancer Federation believed in me and my goals through my graduate studies. All this was possible because of your support and I am very grateful to you and your staff. I pledge myself to continue this work and have started and do whatever I can to fight childhood cancer." ~ Your generous gift ensures that Cancer Federation is able to support more students like Kristin.
