College Scholarship Award
The Susan G. Komen for the Cure College Scholarship Award Program offers college scholarships of up to $10,000 a year over a four-year period. The program assists young adults in their academic pursuits and is intended to help students who would otherwise find attending college to be a significant financial burden, due to the loss of a parent or guardian to breast cancer or having survived a breast cancer diagnosis at 25 years of age or younger. Recipients are selected based on scholastic achievement, community service, financial need, and demonstrated leadership potential. To further the fight against breast cancer, recipients also serve as Komen Collegiate Ambassadors by promoting breast cancer awareness in their community and on their college campus.
