The Susan G. Komen for the Cure College Scholarship Award Program offers up to seven undergraduate college scholarships of $10,000 a year for up to four years. The scholarships are intended to help students who would otherwise find attending college to be a significant financial burden, due to the loss of a parent to breast cancer.
The Komen College Scholarship Award recipients are selected based on scholastic achievement, community service and participation, financial need, and demonstrated leadership potential. Recipients will be expected to be ambassadors for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the breast cancer movement within their social networks and on their collegiate campus.
Application submissions for 2009-2010 are now closed. Please check back in December 2009 for application details for 2010-2011.
