Matt Fishman Scholarship Fund

This scholarship honors Matt Fishman, a remarkable individual whose journey embodies resilience, courage, and an unwavering belief in the healing power of music. In September 2022, at the age of 23, Matt was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. Despite facing incredible odds, Matt's spirit remains unbroken. A graduate of Northeastern University, Matt's passions led him to pursue dual majors in Mathematics and Music. His love for music has been a guiding light throughout his life, providing solace and strength during his most challenging moments. Did you know that only 25% of Glioblastoma patients survive more than a year? Remarkably, Matt defies the statistics, standing tall among the resilient few who have surpassed this milestone. However, the journey doesn't end there. With only 5% of patients surviving more than five years, Matt continues to fight with determination and hope, striving to be among the select few.
