Individuals who are either living with cancer or are survivors, face many unique challenges that ordinary young people applying to college do not. Anyone who has had chemotherapy, radiation or surgery to fight cancer knows firsthand how it can interrupt life and set back educational goals.
The Beauty Foundation believes strongly in helping young people get back their sense of accomplishment. Cancer often changes a person’s outlook on life, making it more important for them to achieve their objectives. For many, a college degree is critical to getting their lives back on track.
The Beauty Foundation is currently in the process of establishing the Jacklyn Ceraolo Warrior Scholarship. The program is being established to honor all cancer warriors. Jacklyn successfully fought Osteosarcoma in 2009 and is working hard to raise awareness and support for teens who are fighting cancer. Anyone under the age of 25 who is currently in treatment or is a cancer survivor, and is applying to a 4-year accredited college or an accredited trade school, is eligible to apply. Please check back soon for updates on this program.
In the meantime, The Beauty Foundation has provided the following links that will help you find other scholarships for which you may be eligible to apply:
