Cancer for College, founded in 1993 by three-time cancer survivor and double amputee Craig Pollard, has awarded over 1,600 need-based scholarships totaling more than $6 million to high-achieving cancer survivors. The charity provides scholarships and educational experiences to help young cancer survivors thrive through college and beyond, with a goal to create a $20 million endowment to support these services in perpetuity.
Since its inception, Cancer for College has awarded 1,700 scholarships and added educational programming such as professional mentor groups and field trips to hospitals and movie studios. The organization also aims to reduce medical debt for survivors and explore alternative education opportunities for those too sick to return to a traditional college experience.
